Shea 2013 Homer Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)

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

Homer is the reserve cuvée, a barrel-selection seemingly chosen for a bit of extra concentration. It retains its elegance, with scents of lavender, incense and Asian spices leading into bright, intense flavors of cherry and plum. The wine gathers itself in the midpalate, showing that fruit density, and finishes with a lick of chocolate. Drink 2018–2030.
