Shea 2012 Block 23 Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)

Country: US / Block 23
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Shea / Willamette Valley

From this particular block all the vines are the Pommard clone, which keeps it distinctive from the other Shea cuvées. Smooth, silky, slightly smoky and showing a supple mouthfeel, this mixes brambly berry, nougat and caramel notes, with a finishing flourish of toasted hazelnuts.
