A quintessential Pinot Noir, with beautiful bright cherry fruit, black raspberry and forest floor. Structured, solid and elegant.
90pts The Wine Advocate – 2013 vintage
“The 2013 Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard was matured in 50% new French oak and is limited to 150 cases. It has a light cranberry and strawberry-scented bouquet that does not quite have the vigor of the Athena Pinot Noir. The palate is fleshy on the entry, quite Volnay-like in style, a little chewy, but clean and pure on the finish. Give it another year because I can see the potential.”
