  A bit flat right out of the bottle. Over the next hour or so, this blossomed into a beautiful Oregon Pinot Noir. Paired it with wild, fresh king salmon, and with the food this wine was even better. Bottom line, give it a little time to breathe and you will definitely not be disappointed.

  Ripe black cherry and plum with sweet baking spice, hints of anise. Still nicely fresh with an enjoyable overall richness.

  Pop and pour based on previous notes. Aromas of mushroom and dried cherry. Flavors of dried cherry, dried raspberry, tobacco and a dark berry note. Ends with a decent 20-25 second finish. You could see the remnants of structure for a very good wine. This still has some fruit but a previous comment said it died after 30 minutes. Will revisit the note if needed. This was kept is a 55 degree cellar but there is no question it has past it's prime. The only question is how far downhill it has gone. Shame because I really enjoyed the Shea 06's, I should have just drank this 4 years ago.

  Initially was incredibly deep and precise along the palate. Lots of dark berry, and sweet, almost tangy cherry. After about 30 minutes it began to collapse upon itself. Lost a lot of the structure and the flavor profiles got slightly out of whack. A charmer at first but grew brooding and slightly bitter. Overall enjoyable but it would have been fascinating if it had been able to keep it together the whole way.
