Weekend Tasting!!
Stag's Hollow!!
"...smooth silky tannins..."
"Join
us this Saturday from 2:30 till 5:00
pm as we welcome Larry Gerelus, owner of Stag's Hollow Winery! In 1991 Larry
left the petroleum industry and spent the summer researching prime grape
growing areas in the Okanagan. The existing 10-acre vineyard was purchased in
1992, and in 1995 construction of Stag's Hollow Winery began after its first
crush.
We will begin with the 2009 Sauvignon Blanc
($19.99). This is a fresh crisp wine with a classic nose of grass, lime
and gooseberry leading to flavours of
melon, grapefruit, and kiwi fruit. It shows impressive intensity and balance
with an enduring, clean, fresh finish.
Next is the 2007
Renaissance Chardonnay ($25.00). This was barrel fermented and aged in
French Oak. Complex layers of hazelnut, butter and creme brulee mingle with
peaches, apple and pear leading to a long, satisfying finish.
We will begin the reds with the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon
($22.99). Ripe, dark bramble fruit with a hint of Okanagan desert sage
and Garrigue. The wine has balanced, bright fruit acidity and finishes with
smooth silky tannins. Bronze Medal 2009 Canadian Wine Awards.
We will conclude with the 2006 Renaissance
Merlot ($29.99). Renaissance wines are not made every year but rather when
the wine is of exceptional quality in that vintage. This
wine is actually 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and is a rich and
concentrated wine with flavours of blueberry, blackberry and chocolate on the
finish. Silver
Medal 2009 Northwest Summit Awards.
See You Here!"
