The de-stemmed grapes were fermented in 4-8 ton stainless steel and Burgundy oak fermenters with no SO2, allowing the fermentations to process naturally. After gentle pressing and settling, the wine aged in French oak barrels, 26% of which were new, for 16 months before bottling by gravity and without fining. Pair with hearty dishes with some sweetness and richness like lamb chops, pork tenderloin, duck breast and lentil dishes.\u003cbr\u003eVintage Notes: 2019 had moderate spring weather followed by a wet June that extended into early July. Temperatures were mostly moderate during the summer with few heat spikes compared to vintages before or after 2019. Unfortunately higher humidity during the late summer brought significant mildew pressure at especially Temperance Hill and Momtazi vineyards where 1\/3 of the fruit was removed because of disease. We began picking for sparkling wine on September 20th with Chardonnay following on September 23rd and 24th. The Pinot noir harvest began with Freedom Hill on September 26th and ended with the last block at Temperance Hill on October 12th. The fruit was mostly clean and ripe with nicely developed tannins. Cooler temperatures during picking resulted in wines with medium weight and good balance.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93.5 Points - Vinous\u003cbr\u003e\"Depths of crushed ashen stones and grilled herbs give way to zests of tangerine and sour cherry as the 2019 Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard comes to life in the glass.

Minty herbal tones resonate with a note of cocoa as the 2019 finishes long, juicy and wickedly fresh. It's almost impossible to stop at just one glass.
