The 2008 Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard is a crimson-colored offering with an already complex bouquet of Asian spices, incense, smoke, underbrush, plum, and black cherry. Layered, sweetly-fruited, and with exceptional volume and balance, this lengthy effort is the most complete and seamless wine in the portfolio. It will require a well-developed ability to delay gratification a la Orson Welles (4-5 years down the road). Lynn Penner-Ash took full advantage of the outstanding Pinot Noir fruit provided by the 2008 vintage. www.pennerash.com
