ANTONIO GALLONI'S VINOUS MEDIA 93 POINTS - "This is one of the Willamette Valley’s most storied vineyards and has been the source of some of the United States’ best Pinot Noirs since soon after Dick Shea began planting his 200-acre site, a relatively early entrant into the Yamhill-Carlton appellation, in 1989. Today, 159 of those acres are under vine, 149 of them to Pinot Noir and the rest to Chardonnay. The list of Shea’s clients is a literal who’s who of Oregon wineries and has been for years."
"Deep red. Fresh, spice-accented red fruits, candied flowers and allspice on the fragrant nose, along with vanilla and smoky mineral notes in the background. Juicy and focused on the palate, showing very good energy to the raspberry, cherry preserve and spicecake flavors. Becomes fleshier with air and finishes long and smooth, with sneaky tannins and repeating florality."
WINE SPECTATOR 93 POINTS - "Precise and well-sculpted, with cherry and pomegranate flavors that are highlighted by fresh earth, violet and dusky spices, finishing with handsome tannins. Drink now through 2030."
