This brand-new release is a barrel selection of some of the brightest and prettiest wine in our cellar. Shea Vineyard is known for its ripe flavors and rich textures. This wine breaks away from the norm with its delicate beauty. Pretty red fruit aromatics with cherry, strawberry and pomegranate lead to a refined palate with a long, beautiful finish.
24% new French oak, 76% neutral French oak. Less than 150 cases made.
Made from 100% Wädenswil clone fruit from the 3-acre section of Shea Vineyard known as Block 7. Year after year, this steep, south facing section of the vineyard provides us with some of the ripest and most unique expressions of Pinot Noir. Lush and blue fruited with classic Wädenswil characteristics of earth and spice, this wine keeps unfolding with time in the glass.
48% new French oak, 52% neutral French oak. Less than 175 cases made.
This is the block that first inspired us to focus on small lot, single clone selections from our vineyard. A stunning example of Pommard clone Pinot Noir, Block 23 always provides both beauty and structure. Pretty floral aromatics draw you in while a balanced and structured palate leads to a long, red fruited finish.
40% new French oak, 60% neutral French oak. Less than 200 cases made.
Our blend of the “best barrels” in our cellar, Homer expresses the most intensity and nuance of the lineup. We held the 2019 Homer in barrel for an extra 6 months in order to give this beautiful wine more time for tannins to soften and the wine to mature. The result is a version of Homer with particularly expressive aromatics, great mouthfeel, and a long finish.
Aged in a blend of new and neutral French oak for 16 months. Less than 250 cases made.
This expressive wine is big, lush and lifted with a wonderful red fruit and floral profile. We don’t make Block 5 every year, but the 2018 Block 5 is a standout.
