Shea Wine Cellars Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir 2019

Yamhill-Carlton AVA, Willamette Valley, OR

93 pts. James Suckling:

"A perfumed nose of redcurrants, plums, salted olives and baking spices. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and bright acidity. Juicy and layered with a savory, salty edge. Balanced, supple finish. Drink or hold."

93 pts .Vinous:

"Deep red. Fresh, spice-accented red fruits, candied flowers, and allspice on the fragrant nose, along with vanilla and smokey mineral notes in the background. Juicy and focused on the palate, showing very good energy to the raspberry, cherry preserve, and spicecake flavors. Becomes fleshier with air and finishes long and smooth, with sneaky tannins and repeating florality."

This wonderful Oregon Pinot Noir is full-bodied, earthy and bold. There's a lot to love in this wine! It pairs really well with grilled meats and mushroom dishes. - Wine Factor
