97 Points - Jeb Dunnuck:

Hand destemmed and amphora fermented, the 2021 Pinot Noir Shea pours a ripe ruby and reveals aromas of framboise, wild fresh forest earth, and a hint of menthol. Medium to full-bodied, it has great concentration while remaining focused, with ripe tannins and an elegant mouthfeel. Long on the palate, with outstanding balance and fresh purity of fruit, this is a very elegant expression of this site. Drink 2024-2040.

94 pts Vinous

Dusty and floral, the 2021 Pinot Noir Shea wafts up with a whiff of autumnal spice and dusty rose, giving way to vivid black cherry. Cooling and energetic, crisp red fruits and hints of citrus flow across the palate, all motivated by brisk acidity. A gentle tannic tension lingers as the 2021 tapers off long and crunchy with a lasting hard red candy character. Beautiful today, but with a bright future ahead, this is a total pleasure to taste. - By Eric Guido on January 2024
