Ken Wright Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023

The 2022 Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard pours a bright ruby color and is focused and peppery with lifted spice and notes of bright red cherries, pie spices, vibrant pressed roses, and fresh piney herbs. It's linear and focused on the palate, with finely coiled tannins, a ripe feel, and an even and mouthwatering spine of acidity. Long a persistent, it has more nervous energy, with savory undertones, and is a lovely wine all the way through. It's going to benefit from at least another year of cellaring. Drink 2026-2046.

Precise and detailed, with a slightly brooding core that propels its dark cherry and raspberry flavors, which are accented by blood orange and spiced tea tones as this gathers tension and tannins on the finish. Drink now through 2035. 1,330 cases made.
