Rex Hill 2011 Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)

Country: US / Oregon
Variety: Pinot Noir
Winery: Rex Hill / Shea Vineyard

Hooray for Shea—a shining star in this difficult vintage. Give it a good sniff and note the wood smoke, cedar and bacon scents rising from the glass. Fruit flavors tumble after, a complex mix of fig, berry and black cherry, with a streak of cola. It’s lively and lingering—drink now or cellar until 2024.
