Really tight on opening. Needs significant air to show its depth, or just hold it awhile longer. Nose of cherry, loamy earth, and oak. Similar flavors. Big bodied. Long finish that heats up a bit.

Lighter-medium ruby color, aromas of cedar box, spice and white pepper. Flavors of black-cherry cola with a hint of blueberry and spice with a nice bright acidity that peaks the other flavors nicely. Medium bodied with matured smooth tannins this wine is at its peak. Good right out of the bottle, but the flavors intensify over a couple hours, this wine over performs. The acidity and fruit intensity will keep this for several more years in the peak. 2 more left!

Robust and full bodied while still being smooth and easy to drink. Lots of cherry backed with earth, mushrooms, tobacco, and a bit of oak. Very well crafted and will cellar for a while yet.

Drank as part of tasting of 16 Shea Vineyard Pinots from 7 producers over 6 vintages. It finished 5th with a average of 92.3.
