Tasting notes
The 2021 Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard Homer is a similar ruby color and expresses the power and depth of Shea. In the glass, it’s noted with a more woodsy herbal profile, including notes of pine needles, cherries, baking spices, and cedar. Medium-bodied, it has a good deal of structure, with ripe tannins, ripe acidity, and an angular feel as well as a bit more richness through the palate. It’s going to be worth holding for another 6-12 months and drinking over the coming 12-15 years.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Homer Shea Vineyard is seductively spicy in character, with depths of woodland berries, cloves, star anise and cedar shavings forming its alluring bouquet. This is a model of elegance: a dense wave of ripe red fruits and spices is effortlessly lifted by brilliant acidity, and a primary staining slowly saturates the palate toward the close. The Homer finishes classically dry and crunchy, structured yet fresh and balanced for a long, steady evolution. While already a pleasure due to its beautifully integrated oak (43% new), the real magic will come forward with maturity.
