Shea Wine Cellars Pinot Noir Estate Willamette '21

From one of the Willamette Valley's most iconic vineyards, this Estate Pinot Noir boasts a deep garnet hue. The aromatic profile is seductive and layered, offering a beautiful blend of ripe red and black fruits like cherry and blackberry, seamlessly integrated with notes of rose petal, cedar, and warm spices from oak aging. The palate is rich and expansive, showcasing a silky texture supported by fine-grained tannins and balanced acidity. Complex flavors of cherry compote, dark chocolate, and a touch of forest floor unfold across a long, persistent finish. Crafted from estate-grown fruit and aged in French oak barrels, this wine beautifully expresses the unique marine sedimentary soil of the Shea Vineyard. Earning 95 points, it is a spectacular pairing for roasted game birds, coq au vin, or aged cheeses.
