IWR International Wine Report: 94 Points
The 2021 Shea Estate Pinot Noir is still incredibly young but absolutely gorgeous and sports a medium neon ruby core with a blueish rim. Red raspberry, candied rose petals, crushed sour red cherries, milk chocolate, whole clove, and saline jump from the glass. Lush across the palate and very well balanced, it’s ready to drink now and will be fantastic over the next 8 years.

Opens with a burst of fresh raspberry and tart blueberry flavors, then slowly builds tension along with minerality and forest floor accents as this moves toward fine-grained tannins. Drink now through 2030.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Estate Shea Vineyard exudes a vibrant blend of crushed strawberries, raspberries and dusty rose. This steps lightly with a pure display of ripe red fruits and inner florals guided by juicy acidity. It finishes long yet remarkably fresh, leaving a pleasantly sweet, hard candy resonance.
