The Shays have collected seven Platinums in the past four years from our panels, and this work with prized Zenith Vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills is the first vineyard-designate from beyond the Bluebird Hill estate to go Platinum. It’s a 50/50 clonal blend of Pommard and Dijon 777, and the stunning aromatics take one back to Burgundy with forest floor and delicate red fruit. Bright cherry and raspberry flavors pick up some savory notes, backed by an amazing structure and seemingly endless finish. Qualifying award: McMinnville Wine Classic (gold)
