Shea Wine Cellars Homer 2008 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
I had been looking for this wine to try as my first high end pinot noir and had a difficult time finding one. One day though I took a trip to Tustin with a friend to Total Wine. Low and behold, there it was among the rows of pinot in the largest warehouse of wine I'd ever been to. I decided I had to get it. I was anxious since it was $75 bucks and it was only the second bottle of pinot I'd ever bought. But heck, it was a month from my birthday and I wanted to get something special for myself. So there I was, in line buying two mini bottles of Godiva chocolate liqueur, a bottle of Italian prosecco, and my Shea. One month later I opened it on a Thursday night with my friend.
A deep ruby red wine, with dark blackberry and plum notes. I could taste a hint of smokiness and spice to round out the bold fruit flavors. We finished the bottle and enjoyed every sip. I will be celebrating my birthdays from now on with my Shea.
