The 2004 Pinot Noir “Shea Vineyard” spent 17 months in French oak. Dark ruby-colored, it emits a nose of spice box, cedar, tobacco, red cherry and raspberry. Medium- to full-bodied, in a forward style, it has good depth and grip and moderate length. Drink it over the next 4-5 years. Tel. (503) 288-7752; www.boedeckercellars.com . Also tasted: 2004 Pinot Noir “Stewart Vineyard” (82), 2004 Pinot Noir “Stoller Vineyard” (83), 2004 Pinot Noir “Montazi Vineyard” (84)

Earthy, gamy flavors predominate against a valiant bead of currant fruit. 50 cases made. -HS

A good effort built upon firm black cherry with berry and citrus. There’s a light whiff of the barnyard that adds some interest without detracting from the overall quality. ——P.G.(4/1/2007)—— 89
