Wine Review: This dark red colored Pinot Noir from the Shea Vineyard is very nice. It opens with an appealing black raspberry bouquet with a hint of currant. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, very nicely balanced and savory. The flavor profile is a tasty black plum and cola blend with notes of oak and mulberry. I also detected hints of black cherry towards the end. The finish is dry and it fades away nicely. This Pinot went very well with my veal parmigiana. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Rich and complex, black cherry, confectionary strawberry and dusty rose waft up from the glass. An expressive palate follows with juicy black cherry and pomegranate alongside notes of tropical mango and coconut in a slightly gamey, smoky finish.
