  This spent 11 months in 41% new oak, and there's a tasty lick of caramel running through the midpalate. The fruit catches some purple plum and plenty of Bing cherry, with a dark chocolate frame around svelte tannins.

  This pulls off the neat trick of being both light and dense, with fruit running the gamut from strawberry to cherry to cassis. Deeply concentrated, and with lovely purity and length, this is delicious now but will surely drink even better in a few years. Drink 2018 through 2028.

  Hooray for Shea—a shining star in this difficult vintage. Give it a good sniff and note the wood smoke, cedar and bacon scents rising from the glass. Fruit flavors tumble after, a complex mix of fig, berry and black cherry, with a streak of cola. It's lively and lingering—drink…

  This new Shea designate is focused and appealing, with streaks of cola and vanilla running through the pretty cranberry and strawberry fruit. It's balanced and nicely textured, with a dollop of moist earth accenting the tannins.

  The Shea Vineyard, replanted during the 1990s due to phylloxera, is returning to its old form. Round and fresh fruit flavors, lightly toasty, and showing a dusting of powdered sugar, craft a fruity wine with a raspberry pastry character. Lovely for near-term enjoyment.
