Excited to try!

@ErnestL

saw the note that you only made 3 vintages of that wine, but didn’t see anything on your website on Shea. When things calm down, I’d be curious to learn more about it.

Also pretty excited to get the 2018 Breaker. Was that the last bottling before you had to pull the vines out or was there a 2019 as well?

I can’t lie. Despite no more storage space and room on the credit card, that 2018 Shea in Offer #7 keeps whispering in my head.

My bad! We made Shea V 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019!

Sounds like enough for an interesting vertical… for BD17 perhaps?

CONGRATULATIONS TO @Andrew_Clark who just won our RAFFLE for a vertical of Library Sequitur Pinot Noirs (2016, 2017, 2018)! This will be shipped with your order, Andrew!

This has been calling my name since Thursday - I finally gave in and ordered the '23 SVD pack. Excited to try these!

@grant_coulter @Renee_Saint-Amour Thanks so much! Received our order! Now comes the difficult decision of which bottle to try first.

Anyone know how these are drinking currently? Cheers!

Hey @ErnestL So happy they landed safe and sound! Honestly they are drinking really well right now but here is my recommended drinking order:

• 2016 Bednarik Vineyard Pinot Noir
  The 16 Bednarik is really nice place, very supple with soft red fruits and great spicy (think cinnamon & nutmeg) from the whole cluster.
• 2016 Sequitur Vineyard Pinot Noir
  The Sequitur has more brooding purple fruit thing going on, alway wildly aromatic. The dark plum, sandalwood and savory umami note have now blended together to create a really intoxicating aroma.
• 2019 Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir
  It’s been a year or so since I had this and it has put on some weight, it was super pale and very red fruited when first bottled but now it has deep shades of red fruit great acidity and a more pure fruit flavors. I really love this wine. I read someone say it was pretty big for 2019 but in reality is actually very restrained for Shea vineyard. It speaks to my my style and just adore the purity of this wine.
  *2018 Breaker Vineyard Pinot Noir
  This wine drinking GREAT but could also be laid down for longer. Deep dark color that is result of tiny berries and clusters in warm vintage for old own rooted site. Initially this wine and blue berries and blackberry with stitch of mint in the background, that has blended together and now it has more seamless fleshy mouthfeel, but don’t be surprised, there is plenty of acid and structure so I would eat with some roasted root veggies and some peking duck!
