Country: US / Shea Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Purple Hands / Willamette Valley
Cody Wright sources his fruit from an A-list of Willamette Valley vineyards, and Shea is right at the top. Cloaked in a milk chocolate shell, this sophisticated wine melds blackberry fruit with flavor-extending streaks of cola and caramel. In scent and finish, there is a slight intriguing hint of pine sap.
