The 2011 Walt Pinot Noir ‘Shea Vineyard' is ripe and fresh with gorgeous aromas of strawberry, wild raspberry, spicy cola, smoky minerals, rose petal and some red licorice. On the palate this is polished, balanced and juicy with fine, silky tannins and a mouthwatering finish. Juicy red berries, spices and smoky notes leave a lasting impression. A delicious Pinot, and for me, my favorite of all the 11's from Walt. Clones from Dijon 777 and Wadensvil. (Best 2014-2023) - January, 2014 (JD)
