  Purchased 2 bottles in May 2024 at Total Wine in Chesterfield, Missouri. This is without a doubt the worst Shea wine I’ve ever had. Muted sour cherry up front. Spoiled lime juice on the bitter finish.
  
  Maybe it’s flawed? Both bottles were poor.

  Blind Tasting of 8 Young Oregon Pinots: My #8, Group #4. Interesting nose of herbs. Smooth body, decent balance, but ultimately simpler than others in the tasting.

  Nice structure. Firm tannins. Raspberries and cherries. Let breathe for 30 minutes

  I don’t know what to make of this. As a wine it’s tasty. As WV Pinot, not so sure. Honestly blinded I’m not sure I’d even call it Pinot, especially Willamette Valley. More reminiscent of new world Grenache. Huge for Pinot, very fruit forward with dense red and black fruits and some oak. Very clean and pure. Missing acid and structure. Color is a dense ruby-purple, barely transparent.
  
  Maybe if you like big Pinot like some RRV’s can be, go for it. The style here is too much a departure from WV Pinot for me personally. It’s round and lacks the precision I look for.
