What to Expect

Oregon has only recently emerged as a source for premium wine and is winning fans over to their somewhat earthy style of Pinot Noir. With vineyards a bit cooler than most of California's, yet warmer still than Burgundy, Oregon's Pinot Noirs feature a synthesis of ripe fruit, ripe structure and transparency that draws on the strengths of both. The wines tend to have a touch of earthiness and a sense of transparency that many Pinots from California lack yet the fruit profile, full of dark berries, is decidedly warm-climate in nature.

Reviews

Wine.com

Shea is consistently our most forward Pinot, offering early accessibility for a single vineyard wine, yet with signifcant aging capability. Its palate exhibits a host of sweet red fruits (especially dried red cherry) and earthy sage and cinnamon-like spices (most likely attributable to some whole cluster fermentation).
