Pinot noir, Shea Vineyard

Pinot noir, Shea Vineyard Wine Details
Price: $32.00 per bottle

Description: This Shea is a dark, almost opaque, ruby color. Its nose is still very tight with lavender, dark flowers, and black fruits with hints of red fruit aromas underneath. Initially almost sweet on the palate, it crescendos into a powerhouse of dark flowers, dried berries, but still maintains a persistent sweetness around its edges. Still young and a bit disjointed, I expect the '03 Shea to develop into a heady, richly textured, very concentrated wine full of red and black fruits. I tasted this wine after 5 days of open time, the tannins had softened dramatically and the fruit was bigger and sweeter than ever. It has all the markings of a great Shea vintage. I expect it to peak in 8-10 years.
