2022 Shea Wine Cellars Rosé of Pinot Noir Shea VineyardYamhill-Carlton more |
9/7/2023 - oldwines Likes this wine: 90 pointsTasted at the winery. This Rosé spent 8 hours on the skins and then was aged in both neutral barrel and steel tank, consisting of mostly Wadenswil Clone Pinot Noir grapes from the estate’s 149 Pinot acres. It is a nice copper-salmon color. It has bright acidity and a nice strawberry and raspberry fruit nice mineral notes as well. It has a certain inner sweetness yet no measurable RS. Nicely done! |

7/4/2023 - 87tellub Likes this wine: 90 pointsNose is reticent on PnP but it does smell young and fresh, traces of oak overlaid with rich purple black fruit. Palate is a ton of ripe fruit, dark cherry, blueberries, sweet berries almost bordering on a blackberry. Very forward and hedonistic. I'd imagine a little more settled down in 2-4 years. |

9/7/2023 - oldwines wrote: 92 pointsTasted at the winery. The Pinot’s from Shea are distinctly different than many of the other Pinot’s we tried this week (with a couple exceptions). They are bolder, more “masculine”, darker and more fruit forward…What I sometimes call Pinots for Cab lovers. This appears to be the result of several winemaking choices. In the vineyard, they pick much more ripe than some of the others we have spoken to, around 26° Brix rather than the ~24° others have told us (resulting in ABV’s of 14-14.5% vs. others at 13-13.5%). Also they employ both pumping over and pushing down of the cap during fermentation, resulting in more extraction. They use both free run and press wine in their final blends which are aged in higher percentages of new oak barrels (20-60% in the wines we tasted vs. some others at 0-40%). The sum total of these practices makes for a wine that is usually not my favorite and my scores do reflect that. There is certainly a market for this style, others may like it more than I do. They are not poorly made in any way, just a bit more “manipulated” rather than “made in the vineyard with as little winemaking interference as possible to better express the terroir” |

7/29/2023 - gfwetzel wrote: NRCork was soft and the wine was sour. Not corked in the usual sense, but flawed. There was no capsule, but instead a brittle plastic (wax?) seal only over the cork (not over the lip of the bottle). I suppose I could have gotten a corkscrew through the seal, but I pried it off with a knife. It broke into several pieces that flew everywhere. Wax/plastic seals like that are a nuisance. |

3/5/2023 - MattMauldin Likes this wine: NRWorld of Pinot Noir - 3/5/23 - quick impressions: Pomegranate and fig fruit with deep layers of spices, black tea and red florals. Broad and expansive on the mid-palate, with silky polish and long depth on the finish. |

9/7/2023 - oldwines Likes this wine: 94 pointsTasted at the winery. While I am less of a fan of the Shea style of Pinot, I found this Chard to be very interesting. This has an interesting Elevage, it was 17% in cement egg, 6% in new French oak, 77% in previously used French oak. Full Malolactic fermentation. There is a slight amount of matchstick/reduction. Very bright with acidity. there is a nice roasted almond element along with pear, white peach and creamy citrus. It was complex and fairly long on the finish. |

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. |

9/2/2023 - Charlie C Likes this wine: 91 pointsTranslucent strawberry red. Vibrant, earthy, spicy nose. Precise on the palate, bright, strawberry, cherry. Fine tannins, nice acidity and balance. Finishes long and gradual, earthy, mellow red fruits. Bright and lively. Deepens a bit with air. Classic Oregon Pinot Noir. Drink next 5 years. |
