95 POINTS
The Wine Palate, Lisa Perrotti-Brown
"Pale to medium ruby-purple in color, the 2023 Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir bursts with bold notes of strawberry preserves, pomegranate, and red roses, plus suggestions of forest floor and mossy tree bark. The medium to full-bodied palate is soft and juicy with just enough freshness and a savory finish."

Tasting notes

Light ruby in color, this wine is layered with expressive strawberry, raspberry, and ruby grapefruit flavors. Subtle hints of sous bois and rose petal accent the fruit profile. The palate is supple and multilayered, with a bright and structured finish set to evolve beautifully over time.

Vintage Notes

The 2023 growing season brought an unusual reversal of patterns across the West Coast: while California was cooler and wetter than average, the Pacific Northwest experienced warmer and drier conditions. A cold, dry winter delayed budbreak by nearly three weeks, but once growth began, the vines quickly caught up. May’s warm, dry weather pushed the season back on track, and June and July offered ideal conditions. A mid-August heat wave added some pressure, though lighter yields helped concentrate the fruit. In the end, we are thrilled with the quality of the wines—showing depth, balance, and exciting potential.
