Saturday, January 30, 2016 - Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir Tasting (Gary's Place): Dark red color. Decanted for an hour; drank a 70ml pour over 40 minutes. Nice nose with ripe berry fruit, raspberry, earth, spice. The palate has a lot of volatility, ripe, sweet fruit, raspberry, tannins with some firm grip, oak, alcohol on the finish. This evened out more over 30 minutes and became a bit more balanced. Interestingly this was so much more balanced two & a half years ago. That night it was WOTN; tonight it didn't place. 91+pts.
