Josh Bergström's Notes
Black raspberry in color, the 2012 Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir has explosive aromas of fresh blueberries, blackberries and a strong floral component of sweet violets. This wine is vibrant in the mouth with pure and poignant fruit flavors. A wet stone mineral aspect, great freshness and mouthwatering acidity are further framed by silky smooth, soft, almost transparent tannins. Drink Now - 2024. Alcohol: 13.9%
