  Awesome! Explosive bouquet of fresh black cherries and cherry pie filling - you could literally smell this halfway across the room. Other than the vibrant fruit, nose also exhibited notes of dusty gravel. Some florals in the background, lurking underneath the cherries and gravel. Palate mirrors the nose and expands with cranberries, raisins, plum skin and adding a spice element. Well balanced, big and flavor dense, like every Shea I've ever tried. Silky tannins. Big, bold and lengthy finish! There's a reason fruit from this vineyard is sought after by so many Willamette Valley producers!

  My 2nd bottle and was slightly disappointed only by the absense of much pinot character. While it was a very enjoyable bottle, in looking for the varietal typicity I found I had to dig through a syrupy, jammyness to get there. I found a slight menthol note to it and it resembling a more RRV quality to it more than what I would expect from an Oregon example. I have enjoyed many Shea Vineyard wines in the past but found this to be a head scratcher.

  Lots of lively fruit throughout the taste. Nice smooth and mellow body. Good balance and mild light and long tannin. Can't tell about any of the 14.5% alcohol. This wine will shine for years to come.
