Wine of the Week
Winderlea Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir 2013
“Sourced from the west side of the vineyard from vines planted in 2004, the 2013 Pinot Noir Shea was picked on 18 September and then matured for ten months using 25% new oak. It offers fragrant dark cherry, bergamot and cranberry scents on the nose that are neatly integrated with the oak, focused with good intensity. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, slightly darker fruit than Winderlea’s other 2013s with a gentle grip on the marine-tinged finish. This would be my pick from Winderlea this vintage.”
