2005 Stag Hollow Vendange Selection Yamhill-Carlton District Willamette Valley Pinot
13.3% alc., $30.
·
The black label captures the spirit of this wine which stands out from the crowd. Likable nose of plum, cola
and root beer with the slightest hint of alcohol. Enticing and substantial core of plum reduction sauce, roasted
nuts and spice. Plenty earthy with lacy drying tannins and a warm, smooth mouth feel. Plenty to like.

2005 Stag Hollow Winery & Vineyard Reserve Yamhill-Carlton District Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
170 cases, $39.95. A blend of 8 Pinot Noir clones. This small, family
winery was started in 1994 by Mark Huff and Jill Zarnowitz in Yamhill, Oregon. The 34-
acre estate is slowly being planted to vines on steep south-facing slopes of Willakenzie
soils at very high density, exceeding 3,000 vines per acre. There are nine clones of Pinot
Noir, including 5 Dijon clones. 10 acres of the estate have been designated as a wildlife
preserve. The Pinot Noirs have been quite distinctive and praiseworthy. This wine won a
Double Gold Medal at the Wine Press Northwest Judging in 2008. The wines are sold on
the website and through retail channels.

Dark ruby color. Enticing aromatic profile of
black cherries, plum, stems and cedar with a delicious and generous infusion of dark
fruited reduction sauce matched to tasty oak. Substantial chewy tannins portend a long life
ahead.
