Tasting notes
Bright ruby. Ripe blackberry, cherry cola and violet pastille aromas are lifted and given focus by a smoky mineral nuance. Suave, alluringly sweet dark berry, cherry liqueur and spicecake flavors develop a touch of vanilla with air. Shows impressive depth and power but vivacity as well, finishing with impressive breadth and length and a late jolt of firming tannins.

The 2014 Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard, which contains a little whole cluster bunches, has fine lift on the nose; in my mind, this a step up from other vineyards with hints of menthol infusing the vivid red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a gentle grip in the mouth, tea leaves and bay leaf infusing the black berries and bilberries, adorned with a subtle marine-influenced finish coming through on the satisfying finish. Maybe the pick from Penner-Ash this year - the Shea Vineyard showing its pedigree here.
