The 2005 Pinot Noir “Shea Vineyard” is more darkly colored. It exhibits a smoky nose with black cherry, earth, cola, and black raspberry elements. This is followed by a medium-bodied wine with a plush texture and the generous, mouth-filling fruit for which the Shea Vineyard is well known. The wine is firmly structured and slightly compact in the finish but 5-7 years in bottle should round out this outstanding effort. Lynn Penner-Ash had a long, successful career at Rex Hill before starting her namesake winery with her husband Ron in 1998. They are now ensconced in a new gravity-flow winery of their own design. She describes the 2005 vintage as “challenging” both because of the weather and because it was their first vintage in the new winery. Tel. (503) 554-5545; www.pennerash.com.
