Winemaker Notes

The 2019 Shea Pinot Noir has dried floral, berry, and sweet earth aromas with allspice and white pepper. On the palate, the floral notes are mixed with a mélange of wild berries, fresh cranberry, dried strawberry, and ground sweet spices. This wine is an example of the complexity of our wines from Shea Vineyard and the broad complexity of flavors from a cooler vintage, bringing the multitude of flavors beyond fruit to the forefront. These textures and flavors extend into its long-layered finish.

Professional Ratings

93Wine & Spirits
Burly and supremely flavorful, Shea vineyard fruit plays to Mark Vlossak’s strengths, making for a dark spicy wine with Dr. Pepper scents, hints of sassafras and carob, ushered along by assertive oak notes. The palate is vinous but velvety, packed with flavor yet delivered with surprising precision.
93Wine Enthusiast

A really intriguing mix of red fruit and tangerines highlight an aromatic set that also features touches of leather and loamy soil. All the raspberry flavor you can handle is on tap, along with tastes of smoked almonds and citrus. The wine’s juicy acidity is matched by significant tannic structure.

92James Suckling
Notes of ripe cherries and wild strawberries with dried currant leaf, citrus peel and moist earth. Medium-bodied, creamy and fleshy with silky tannins and bright acidity. Flavorful finish.
92Wine Spectator
Precise and multilayered, with cherry, pomegranate, black tea and forest floor tones that build structure toward fine-grained tannins. Drink now through 2029. 1,275 cases made.
