  I can't help but think about Kosta Browne as I sip this. It's Pinot, it's big, and it has 1% Syrah. This has lots of ripe red fruit, spices , and earth. Bottle is full of acidity and chunks.

  Best bottle yet; will be sorry when I drink my last one. 2006 was criticized as a hot vintage with little staying power, but this has continued to improve with age. Garnet color, beginning to fade on the edges. Robust dark fruits and cola on the palate. Remains well balanced with a medium finish. This is a robust PN, not for those who prefer a lighter more elegant style.

  Dark color for pinot, earthy, baking spice notes on the nose with rich flavors on the palate of baked cherries, blackberries, cinnamon, and clove. A little bigger than many WV pinots, but overall not bad.

  Ripe red fruits on the nose. The palate matches - it's round and rich, but also somewhat one dimensional.... different from what I've seen with other 06 Oregon Pinots, especially one sourced from Shea. I don't see more bottle time having any further impact, so I suggested enjoying this over the holiday season - no one at the table will be upset..... it's developed into a very smooth and tasty wine.

  Very tasty, but think the 2006 Vista Hills was better. And thats just odd, Shea is always one of our favorite vineyards.
