Score 92/100 · Drink 2009-2018, Jay S Miller, Wine Advocate, Oct 2009
The 2006 Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard was picked earlier than most of the Shea blocks. It offers up some mineral and earth notes along with black cherry and black raspberry. On the palate it is seamless, ripe, and intense, large-scaled yet elegant. This plush effort will drink well through 2018. Jim Prosser, owner/winemaker of J.K. Carriere, was well into the construction of his new winery hopefully to be ready for the 2009 crush, when I met up with him. Prosser’s policy is to hold back his vineyard designated wines for an extra year, so the current releases are 2006s. www.jkcarriere.com
