Stag’s Hollow Renaissance Pinot Noir 2022
Stag’s Hollow Renaissance Pinot Noir 2022
THE FEAST AFTER THE FARE
RUSTIC REFINED | BY HAND & HEART
Perfumed, elegant with layered sophistication. Gentle acidity, medium+ body, with soft, light, ripe tannins and long, fruity finish.
Dry. Fruit-forward in an honest and refined way — fresh strawberries, mixed berries jam with hints of vanilla, nutmeg, cloves and earth. It’s very much alive.

Commentary: I reviewed the Shuttleworth Creek Pinot Noir 2022 and it made the top 8 due to its vibrant tranquillity (if that makes sense). It’s a beautiful and elegant Pinot Noir that has great approachability yet offering layered complexity and elegance.
