Pike Road 2021 Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir

Made consistently since 2017, the Shea bottling gets roughly one fifth new oak. As expected it's big, bold, dark and blocky, with plentiful blackberry and black cherry fruit. I love the texture and depth of this wine, which layers in subtle shades of clean earth, pipe tobacco, black olive, anise, coffee grounds and... well the deeper you dive, the more you find. 351 cases; 13.5%; $50 (Yamhill-Carlton) 94/100
