Raptor Ridge Shea Vineyard Pinot noir 06

The deep black cherry color of this wine is matched by aromas of wild cherry and graham. In keeping with the typical Shea profile, a hint of forest mushroom adds depth. A round and luscious black cherry cola palate is backed by tight tannins and an acidic vein that will support aging.

Tasting Notes for 2004 Vintage

Tasting notes for the 2003 vintage from the winery:

"Translucent garnet in color with a rich nose of ripe strawberry preserves and vanilla bean, this vintage of Shea is a dichotomy of subtle aroma and flavor with powerful wine strength. Well-integrated oak lends a brown spice characteristic. The mouth feel is viscous, broad and soft, with a lingering finish reminiscent of blueberry cobbler. We suggest pairing this vintage with subtler flavors of fish and fowl, rather than heavy lamb and beef dishes. The finish will lengthen as the alcohol, higher this vintage than usual, integrates with time."
