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. — 6 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

Strength to last but flavor dissipates faster than I would have thought. Dark. Some wood. Not much flower. Still a nice wine. — 8 years ago

This is crazy, and unsurprisingly delicious. Marlborough and Sancerre had a child... — 11 years ago

Started very pretty with roses and pomegranate, but two hours in, this is explosive. Beautiful use of whole cluster with ultrafine tannin, a spicy finish with a hint of fresh bay leaf. — 7 years ago

Classy subtle oak. Moderate acidity. Beautiful balance and richness — 7 years ago

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

Lots of power but with finesse. Rich, silky, spicy, long, black cherry, boysenberry. Unmistakably "Shea". Beauty! — 11 years ago
