Coming from WillaKenzie soils in Yamhill-Carlton, the 2023 Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard is all 777 clone and pours a youthful ruby red color. It’s another highly expressive wine with wild berries and wild herbs taking charge, with juniper, saddle leather, and very pretty notes of wild raspberries starting to shine through and take the lead as it opens. Medium-bodied, this wine exhibits a refined texture with fine tannins, refreshing acidity, and a mouthwatering finish. It’s a very elegant expression in this vintage to drink over the next 15 or more years.
