I must say, this 07 Shea smells terrific from the get-go, beautiful florals and earthy aromas mingled with leather and dried cherries. A pretty, delicate, pinotesque bouquet to be sure, semi-reminiscent of burgundy. The palate is light yet bright and enveloping, full of red zinger and black tea flavors, fully resolved but holding with elegance and intensity. A hint of bitterness on the finish is only the real telltale of its age, but these are certainly very much ready to drink. 93 pt bouquet, 89 pt palate. (10 views)

Linda's 55th Birthday (Paul's House): Tasted after 1 hour of air. Not much on the nose. Maybe still closed? Some high toned notes on the mid palate. Black tea and spice. Forest floor notes. Interesting tang. This wine is evolving and revealing more as time goes on. An excellent effort from the master of Pinot Mr. Mark. (62 views)

Rich and full, balanced, much as prior bottle, drank over several nights and did not shift a lot save losing nuance in nose. In between had a lovely 2010 1er Burgundy, interesting style contrast, esp in translucency of fruit and crisp minerality. (69 views)

Pale gold color. PNP, drank a glass over 45 minutes. The nose is showing more citrus peel, apple and powdery dried apple, and plenty of dried stones. The palate is refeshing and shows good cut and brisk mineral notes, lime extract, spice, citrus, pear and apple on a medium bodied frame. Still soe oak to fully work in, but not overbearing. 91+ to 92pts. (258 views)

Okey-dokey, a smokey year wine that is...JUST FINE! Reduced price but not quality. Bright red cherries, raspberries, spices with great lift and length. I'd buy more if we had room.... I'd also drink in the next year or two to make sure any hints of smoke don't become more obvious. (238 views)

A great late release bottle from someone who knows Burg and related wines. Open nose of white citrus, green pear, stone and saline. This just gets better with time and warming! Wait! There's more! Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! Oh, wait it's Wednesday! If you're brave and love a little age on a wine, try in 2026. (259 views)

Tasted after 30 minutes of air. Medium yellow. Lively pear fruit. Plenty of verve and energy here. Excellent cut and delineation. Saline and mineral. Perfect balance. Some lime zest on the long finish. One of the best values in Oregon Chardonnay. Blows away the nasty over oaked Santa Rita $70 chard I had last week. (140 views)

Day 1: Diam 10. Right from FedEx and the tradition of trying a bottle after delivery continues to see zero evidence of bottle shock which is a complete myth. Maybe for Champagne or older bottles but not young. The best Villages Cuvee I have ever tasted. Cranberry, cherry blossoms, rose petals, mild spices, dust and earth. Super complex Pinot for the money. Outstanding value. 92 points
Day 2: Not as good and this might go down as a pop and pour and consume young. Fruit is not as pronounced on day 2. Dust, wafer, cranberry, cardboard and spices. Not nearly the experience. 85 points
Day 3: Better on day 3 but not nearly the pop and pour experience of day 1.
Recommendation: These wines are truly meant to be consumed young and enjoyed out of the bottle. The single vineyard St. Innocent wines cellar. (296 views)

Pale gold. Smelled apple, pear, wet limestone, at times a hint of ginger; the taste was of the fruit and stone, with some pleasant bitterness coming in at the back end. Rich but with fine acidity, finishing long on the fruit. It seems like Oregon Chardonnay can do no wrong. (328 views)
