Excellent PN. Opened to balanced fruit/tannin in 20 minutes. Delicious. I left a half glass on the counter by accident. It was even better 24 hours later, rounder, more complex. I drank that first the second day! It should be good for a while longer, but it will not last in my cellar.

Opened, poured into a decanter, leaving a small amount of sediment in the bottle. Ruby garnet color. Nose offers brown spice and forest floor. Some nice dark cherries but felt a little flat. Good fruit and some earth and spice notes but perhaps packing in acidity. Seemed a bit heavy for a Pinot.

Holding up well, but just not that noteworthy for the price. Or maybe my tastes have changed since 2012? Dark fruit, smooth, long finish, but not the 'pop' I've come to enjoy with well made pinot noir.

Welcome back Ray (Scott and Amy's House): From a magnum, this was drinking very well. Nice fruit, earth, a touch modern.

Drank as part of tasting of 16 Shea Vineyard Pinots from 7 producers over 6 vintages. It finished 7th with a average of 91.67.
