2014 Auteur Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard

The 2014 Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard, a vineyard I know well, is sourced from 100% Wadensville clone, and aged in 60% new French oak. When Wadensville is cropped low, as it should be, it has a Volnay-like strawberry and cherry character – and this wine certainly fits that characteristic. The wine exhibits a lovely medium-dark ruby color, a big sweet kiss of strawberry and cherry with spice and earth. Drink it over the next 5-6 years.
