Individual Vineyard

Shea

Yamhill-Carlton

One of Oregon’s iconic vineyard sites, shaped by marine sedimentary soils, fractured sandstone, hillside exposure, and profound Pinot Noir character.

The Vineyard

A benchmark Oregon site of depth, spice, and structure.

Shea Vineyard lies in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA and is widely regarded as one of Oregon’s most important Pinot Noir vineyards.

The site is defined by hillside exposure, marine sedimentary soils over fractured sandstone, and a layered range of microclimates that build dark-fruited depth, spice, floral lift, and firm structure.

For 00 Wines, Shea represents a powerful, mineral, and age-worthy expression of Willamette Valley Pinot Noir.

Site Character

Dark-fruited. Spiced. Structured.

Shea’s hillside blocks and marine sedimentary soils give wines with breadth and density, but also lifted aromatics and a finely grained structural frame.

Pinot Noir from this site often moves through blackberry, cherry, violet, rose, baking spice, earth, and a mineral line that carries through the finish.
