Chehalem Mountains winemaker Scott Shull has been working with Dick Shea’s famed fruit since 1996. The juice makes it into as many as five Raptor Ridge wines each year, but here’s the most prized and ageworthy of them all. This bottling showcases some of the terroir associated with Pinot Noir from Shea, most notably with the theme of boysenberry, blueberry, portobello mushroom, forest floor earthiness and a bold structure, backed by red currant, chocolaty tannins and fresh cranberry acidity.
