"Vibrant and supple, with elegantly layered raspberry and cherry flavors that take on expressive orange peel, toasty spice and tea accents, gathering richness and tension toward refined tannins. Drink now through 2031. 100 cases made."

"The 2021 Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard opens with an enticing bouquet of black licorice and dusty roses giving way to crushed raspberry. Silky-smooth and polished in feel, it easily flows across the palate, displaying crisp wild berry fruits. This finishes lightly structured and long, leaving a lingering hint of hard red candies."

“Attendees at the large Pinot Noir Focus Tastings often gravitate to the “name” producers, and ignore the small, boutique wineries that are relatively unknown. This is unfortunate, for they miss out on some of the most appealing wines. Every year I find undiscovered wineries that intrigue or impress. This year it was Center of Effort Wines, Cotiere Winery, DELLA Wines and Stephen Goff Wines.”
