Tasting notes
Limpid ruby. Highly perfumed aromas of black raspberry, cherry cola, candied flowers and exotic spices, along with savory herb and smoky mineral qualities in the background. Juicy and impressively concentrated, showing strong tension to the vibrant red and dark berry, cherry preserve, rose pastille and spicecake flavors. Becomes fleshier with air and finishes extremely long and precise, with sneaky tannins and reverberating florality.

Medium ruby, the 2017 Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard is scented of blackberry preserves, smoked cranberries, burnt citrus peel, potpourri, scorched earth and tar hints with licorice notes. The medium-bodied palate is intense, layered and grainy with seamless freshness and a long, nuanced finish. Give this another year in bottle.
Quite mineral and exciting – more exciting than the 2016. Josh thinks 2017 is a great vintage. Savoury. Really fresh and long. (JR)
