Auteur Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard 2008

Deep ruby in color, true complexity is revealed with a powerful nose of boysenberry, cocoa, blackberry, cherry, and lilac. The palate echoes these dark fruits with blueberry and dried cherry, along with cinnamon, cola, and violet notes. The firm, well-delineated tannins soften after decanting, resulting in a smooth, silky mouthfeel that seamlessly unfolds layer upon layer of pleasure toward a memorable, dark-fruit finish.
