Wine Review: This dark red colored Pinot Noir from the Shea Vineyard opens with a very shy and faint cherry and strawberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is light to medium bodied, smooth and elegant. The flavor profile is a pleasant mild red plum. We also detected hints of minerality, strawberry, white pepper and black tea mixed in as well. The finish is dry and its gentle tannins drift away nicely. The Panel suggested pairing this food friendly Pinot with lean fish like mahi-mahi or red snapper. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Aromas of tea leaf, violets, and spiced cranberry. A fresh attack of raspberry and red cherry give way to a structured mid-palate of tobacco, sweet umami, and dark fruit.
