Really big for an Oregon pinot. Some extra tannins. Great with food — 9 years ago
A cellar special. Big, bold and powerful. Still could muscle on for another 10+ years. — 10 years ago
Lots of power but with finesse. Rich, silky, spicy, long, black cherry, boysenberry. Unmistakably "Shea". Beauty! — 10 years ago
Nearing the end of my cellar collection for this bad boy. Open one about every 6 - 9 months and they just keep delivering. This one had some caramel notes that snuck in to give texture to a still bold fruit delivery. Been a classic. — 5 years ago
Lifted notes on the nose, very complex, rich mouthfeel and finish without being heavy or sweet. — 8 years ago
I was still making wine on a commercial level in 2005, it was a warm year for Washington State, leading me to believe it was warm in Oregon, too. The 2005 Bergstrom Nysa Vineyard offers up a nose of ripe red fruit, rose hips, burnt brown sugar, and raspberry leaf. Garnet-hued with a translucent edge, it leads with a spicy note, and presents high-toned acidity—cranberry compote, pie cherries. At this stage, its still bright and taught with low levels of tannin and a finish that ends in white pepper. — 9 years ago
A lovely nose of honeysuckle and blossoms, lemon rind and honey. Carries through a mildly viscous body of lemon meringue cookies and green apples with highlights of zippy key lime. Finishes with an unctuous yet subtle note of talc and seashells. — 10 years ago
