Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022

Excellent vintage. Medium garnet color with a dark core and pink rim. Aromas of red cherries, lavender, sweet spices, rose petals and musky earth. Plentiful cherry, raspberry and mulberry fruit on the palate with additional flavors of Asian spices, black tea and cola. Long and lingering finish (just goes on and on) and impeccable balance. Medium-light body but a beautiful mouth coating texture. Fine grained tannins. Just so elegant and complex. I enjoy the entire Purple Hands lineup, but the Shea single vineyard option is consistently outstanding! — 7 days ago

Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir 2011

Aged to perfection. The 2011 vintage got a lot of slack from the critics but I think this is a really beautiful noir drop tonight! 😍 Sous bois, raspberry coulis, it's got the requisite tannins but not amplified. — 18 days ago

Here’s a tip to see your bottle & others pop up. I’ve been experimenting all week and this works.
Unfollow someone near the last bottle you see posted, scroll around a bit and then it refreshes and new posts show up. Then follow that person back if you want. It’s worked everytime for me and I just gave the tip off to a somm up north and it worked for him as well.

I'll have to try this to see if it works for this quirky app. I'll also use the tip you revealed for purchasing orchids in a store. Buds not blooms are what I need! Merci beaucoup monsieur Paul!

Well not all buds, typically we look for 60- 75 % blooms open then those last few at the top still buds.

Temperance Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021

Really impressed.
St. Innocent’s consistency of style lets terroir shine through their single vineyard series. Like a controlled experiment. 2021 Temperance Hill shows incredible levels of complexity and spice, while maintaining a great degree of balance and approachability. Put simply, it tastes great.

I haven’t had a chance to taste 2021 Momtazi, but this wine has similar levels of depth to prior vintages if memory serves, while being more easily appealing. I’ve tired 2021 Shea, but not side-by-side with this. While the Shea is an excellent wine, for my taste this is more expressive and interesting.
