Vibrant and high-toned for the range, the pure ruby-colored 2022 Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard comes from the clay soils on the much cooler east hill of the vineyard and is very pretty, with spicy aromas of spiced cranberry cocktail, anise, and fresh pine. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and fresh, even acidity, it’s long on the palate, with a flourish of delicate blue floral and fruit tones coming through on this very elegant and seamless wine. It is approachable now but will certainly be a long-lived wine.
