  Stunning bottle of Pinot Noir. Wish I had saved more of this!

  Large meniscus in the glass and some substantial sediment in the bottle, nice to see with the man-made cork. Dark cherry and lots of earth, very appealing, good acidity to match with grilled tuna. Last and best of a case of various 2005 Ken Wright's purchased on release. Think this is at its apex.

  Notes of plum, dark fruit, cherry and earth. Cherry and earthy dark fruit on the palate. Finishes with good length and balance.

  after struggling with a few bordeaux/burgundies that didn't live up to expectations this past week, i was in the mood for something accessible and this hit the spot. might have resulted in me giving it an extra point or two.
  
  i can't disagree too vociferously with the people here who gave it a lower score, though i wouldn't call it so jammy that you get tired of it....it was definitely not that kind of drinking experience. the wine was open, lush and had good acidity so I was happy from start to finish.

  Lighter than I expect from a Shea. A bit flabby. I don't know if it was just this bottle or the wine. Had some nice earthy notes.
