Tasting notes
The 2013 Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard is one of the earlier picked vineyards for Bergstrom and they told me that they look for the "pretty side" of Shea, seeking for natural acidity. Matured in 20% new oak, it has a minty bouquet with wild berry fruit, hints of blood orange coming through with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine saturated tannin, a little steely in the mouth, balanced with good acidity. Like the Pre du Col Pinot Noir, I noticed a slight abruptness coming through on the finish, nevertheless it should give plenty of drinking pleasure over the next 4-6 years.

Brilliant red. Highly fragrant scents of red berries, blood orange and candied rose, with a spicy element building in the glass. Silky and seamless in texture, but the red berry flavors are also juicy and nicely focused. Closes spicy, gently tannic and very long, with emphatic red berry and floral pastille notes lingering.
