Stag's Hollow Pinot Noir Stag's Hollow Vineyard 2020

Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaStag's Hollow Vineyard is always a step up in intensity over its sister label, Shuttleworth Vineyard, primarily due to its warmer, west-facing aspect. In 2020, it was swimming in black plums and black cherries mixed with warm spice and a somewhat acidic mid-palate flecked with earth and licorice. It's pinot soft, if a bit dry in the back end, but it is young and a big vintage. Perhaps another two years in the bottle will repay your patience. Stag's Hollow Estate Vineyard is home to the oldest pinot noir plantings in the winery, at almost 27 years old. The wine is a coferment of two Dijon clones: 115 and 667.Tasted: 01 July 2022Tasted by: Prices:
