This wine has it all... has converted me to having faith in the potential of American Pinots. Nose is strong violets with undifferentiated fruit. But flavor bursts forth with a perfect blend of violets, tobacco, fruit and tannins. Great full body fills your mouth and makes a strong statement. Absolutely delicious!!!!!! — 8 years ago
Really big for an Oregon pinot. Some extra tannins. Great with food — 11 years ago
A cellar special. Big, bold and powerful. Still could muscle on for another 10+ years. — 11 years ago
Lots of power but with finesse. Rich, silky, spicy, long, black cherry, boysenberry. Unmistakably "Shea". Beauty! — 11 years ago
Lifted notes on the nose, very complex, rich mouthfeel and finish without being heavy or sweet. — 9 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. — 10 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. — 11 years ago
