Pronounced "Shi-nay-in" in Celtic, this elegant Oregon Pinot Noir features premium fruit blended from five different vineyards. Laced with piquant baking spices, black plum fruit and hints of mocha, this highly polished bottling focuses on dark fruit flavors as opposed to Pinot's more traditional red berry profile. Excellent balance, a sleek mouthfeel, and a spicy, lingering finish make this refreshingly different Pinot Noir an absolute standout.
