2011 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
The Shea Wine Cellars West Hill Pinot Noir from the 2011 vintage is a remarkable expression of the Willamette Valley, known for its cool climate that perfectly nurtures this varietal. This red wine offers a medium body that envelops the palate with a delightful richness, while its acidity is bright and refreshing, providing a lively counterpoint to its elegant profile. The fruit intensity shines through with prominent notes of black cherry and raspberry, complemented by subtle undertones of baking spices and earthy nuances. The tannins are well-structured yet refined, giving the wine a graceful backbone without overwhelming the senses. Its dry finish allows the complexity of flavors to linger beautifully, making it an excellent companion for a range of culinary delights.
