Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
The top-notch 2003 Pinot Noir Omega Shea Vineyard offers up beautiful aromatics of raspberries, plums, blueberries, and flowers. This deeply fruity, medium to full-bodied Pinot boasts tremendous opulence, a sweet mid-palate, admirable purity, and a seamless finish. Drink it over the next 5-7 years. After 2003, Elaine and Manfred Krankl will no longer produce a Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir due to the logistical problems of moving fruit from Oregon to their winery in Ventura.Additional Information

Pinot NoirPinot Noir is a versatile red wine grape used to make some of the world's greatest wines. Depending on where it is grown, Pinot Noir can be earthy or fruity, light-bodied or heavy, pale garnet or deep red. In France, Pinot Noir produces fine red Burgundy and is one of the three grapes used in Champagne (the skins are removed prior to fermentation to produce blanc de noir or "white from red.") It is also considered the most diverse, food-friendly wine View all our additional Pinot Noir items

OregonMost of Oregon’s wine production occurs in the Willamette Valley, where Pinot Noir reigns supreme. But the Southern Oregon AVA, generally known only to Oregon consumers, is gaining recognition for warm climate varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. Oregon microclimates range from cool, damp and breezy to warm and dry. Some of Oregon’s best-known wineries include Beaux Freres, Ken Wright and Sine Qua Non.View all our items from Oregon
