2017 vintage. This vineyard can be a little “touchy.” Penner-Ash can be a “soft touch.” This is a great “collab” with perfect tension between the fruit/softness of the Penner-Ash style and the ZCV punching power. Nearly something for everyone that gravitates towards Oregon Pinot. Phenomenal. — 3 months ago
Dark deep fruit plum, blackberries, forest floor on the nose, very big deep dark Pinot, might soft with more aging!!! — 9 months ago
We had the 2017 Vintage on 3/1-2-24. Medium Garnett in color. Black cherry and cinnamon on the bouquet. Black cherry, black raspberry and cardamom on the palate. Some oak and earth as well. Medium bodied. Unmistakable California Pinot Noir. Very good. — a month ago

Purchased wine during visit to the winery in October 2017. Single vineyard Pinot from Dundee Hills grown in red-clay Jory soil. Muted nose. Pomegranate and red plum fruit, with volcanic soil, pepper and floral notes. — 7 months ago

Enjoyed with family. The age on it enhanced the wine beautifully. Tannins were very soft and the fruit mature but still very present. Wanted to savour as it was the last of my Shae vineyards wines in my cellar. It did not disappoint. Noted I drank my 2009 in 2020 and it was past its prime, three years later the 2010 was perfect. — 8 months ago
