Pours on the lighter end of garnet, high clarity. Strawberry, cherry, mushroom, leather, and cigar box on the nose. Palate is the same with a touch of bubblegum. Still fresh, but showing nice complexity, I think this could easily go another decade. Medium body, medium tannins, medium acidity.

A distinctive example of a Shea pinot, soft red fruit (raspberry) in a brambly and mineral-infused wrapping. Soft tannins and an extended finish. I often pair Shea with more exotically flavored dinners since the flavor profile has so many dimensions.

Expansive and lush aromas come loaded with notes of pureed raspberry, dark cherry, cranberry sauce, strawberry preserve, floral pastilles, earth, sea mist, forest and hints of hibiscus tea. The palate carries the elegance one would expect from a Shea bottling. plush, opulent textures, suave gentle tannins and balanced acidity. Flavors on the palate reveal deep raspberry and cherry flavors with notes of cranberry sauce and strawberry pie filling that are accompanied with notes of candied rose petals, hibiscus tea, salty earth and minerals and bramble. The finish is long and expansive. 92/93 Let this one rest for a little bit 2022-2035

Plenty of cherry and red fruits; hint of pomegranate, vanilla and honey; enough tannins for a solid finish.
