The 2011 Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard was reviewed by David Schildknecht in his previous report, so it was interesting to compare our observations. I broadly agree with his sentiment, although I wager that it has improved a little since then, the brown spice component developing nicely on the nose, while the palate has plenty of sappy red berries and a succinct poise on the finish. Drink this over the next 4-5 years.
