2012 Ken Wright Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard

The 2012 Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard has an attractive, floral bouquet with pretty vanilla-tinged red cherry and strawberry fruit that are nicely defined. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, well-judged acidity and a gentle grip on the spicy finish that lingers. This is one of the best 2012s from Ken Wright and should give at least a decade's worth of pleasure as it matures.
