Winemaker Notes

Shea Vineyard drapes over 140 acres of rolling hills in the Willamette Valley s Yamhill-Carlton AVA. Dick Shea first planted the Back Block in 1989 and then replanted it in the mid-90s to eliminate the problem of phylloxera, a microscopic insect that feeds on grapevine roots. This fruit is some of the most coveted in the state. Cody sources from the highest elevation Shea block.

Blend: 100% Pinot Noir

Very aromatic with notes of cherries, raspberries, dried blood oranges and hints of cocoa and licorice. Juicy and bright with a medium body, offering fine, silky tannins and delicious fruit with notes of crushed stones. Refreshing and long.
