"Cranberries, red currants, sour cherries and orange zest on the nose, with hints of licorice. Bright and fruit forward, with excellent tension too, and tight, fine-grained tannins. It,s medium-bodied, sleek and fresh. Drink now or hold."

"Pouring a youthful red/ruby hue, the 2021 Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard Estate offers wonderful clarity and ripeness in the glass, with notes of black raspberries, licorice spice, pine sap, and candied flowers. Elegant all the way through the palate, this medium-bodied red offers highly refined tannins, with even acidity, a soft, stony mouthfeel, and a lovely, tapering finish. It's a highly appealing wine now and is going to continue to improve if given time. Drink 2024-2037."

"Opens with a burst of fresh raspberry and tart blueberry flavors, then slowly builds tension along with minerality and forest floor accents as this moves toward fine-grained tannins. Drink now through 2030."
