Description
00 Wine Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir 2017
The best example of Shea Vineyard as a whole in any given vintage is the Estate Pinot Noir. Pulled from every block of the vineyard we use for our own production, the Estate embodies the intense yet complex nature of Pinot Noir in the 2017 vintage. Dark red fruit including raspberries, black tea, clove and rose aromatics define the nose. The palate has smooth tannins and bright acidity while still being rich and rounded.
Critical Acclaim

The estate bottling brings together the various clones planted at this iconic vineyard. Offering a complex weave of plum, marionberry and blackberry, it matches its delicious fruit with 40% new French oak, adding a seam of coffee and dark chocolate. The tannins are polished to a fine gloss.Editors’ Choice.

Vibrant and graceful yet generous, with raspberry and pomegranate flavors that gather loamy mineral, black tea and dusky spice flavors, finishing with refined tannins. Drink now through 2028.
