Unfortunately Delectable sucks... This wine is actually 2004 Shea Vineyard.. The fruit is showing wonderfully and the wine is impeccably balanced... I drank this wine with my girlfriend, Leah Moorhead and my business partner, Parker Hallam. — 10 years ago

Lots of power but with finesse. Rich, silky, spicy, long, black cherry, boysenberry. Unmistakably "Shea". Beauty! — 12 years ago

1999 Sine Qua Non “Ox” Pinot Noir from the wonderful Shea Vineyard in Yamhill County, Oregon. 14% alcohol. I’ve always loved the simple label on this gigantic bottle with the cavernous punt. And I was all ready to wax poetic about the romance of opening one of these older SQNs as, based on a couple of recent tastings, I was told that this bottle is well over the hill. Well, that just ain’t so. At least not with this bottle which has been lovingly stored since release. Now I’m not going to try and convince you that the “Ox” is at its peak, but the old girl still has some tricks up her sleeve. Crystal clear, bright, medium garnet appearance. A little bricky on the edges. Smokey notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, truffles and clove on the nose. Quite vibrant palate of sweet strawberries and cola as well as spice box with a hint of vanilla, toast and that clove. A touch earthy. Nice acidity. Super silky mouthfeel. Short, but decent smokey finish with a bite reminiscent of Sweet Tarts candy. Tangy! Extremely enjoyable! Well made is well made. Chapeau Mr. Krankl! — 8 years ago


Lifted notes on the nose, very complex, rich mouthfeel and finish without being heavy or sweet. — 9 years ago

One of the best domestic pinot I have had in ages - despite being at a pinot tasting 6 weeks ago this wine stands out - no bubblegum notes here - stems and dried strawberries with an earthy undertone — 10 years ago
