Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Every year Homer is our blend of “best barrels” in the cellar, carefully chosen to highlight the most intense aromas and flavors from Shea Vineyard in any given vintage. The result is a nose with blue and black fruit and floral aromas, complimented by a rich palate of black fruit with spice and savory notes. The wine is structured, complex and balanced with well-integrated tannins.

Professional Ratings

  • 97
    Darker fruits of blackberry essence, underbrush, lots of dark chocolate and mocha-scented oak show on the nose. The palate is dense and chewy but supported by fresh acidity and grainy tannins up to the long, fruit-forward finish. The alcohol is not low but it is well integrated and will only improve. Drink in 2020.
  • 94
    Homer is the winery's top barrel selection reserve, aged in 71% new French oak. Sturdy, tight and compact, it's packed with black fruit and barrel flavors. Its polished tannins are threaded with cinnamon spice, pepper and coffee ground notes. Drink 2020–2028.
    Cellar Selection
  • 93
    Plush and generous, with expressive violet and fresh raspberry aromas and rich, polished black cherry and toasty spice flavors that glide along the finish. Drink now through 2023. 342 cases made.

Shea Wine Cellars Shea Vineyard Winery Image

Shea Vineyard, located in the Yamhill Foothills of Oregon's Willamette Valley, was first planted to wine grapes by Dick Shea in 1989 and 1990. Today the vineyard property consists of 200 hillside acres of which 140 are planted to wine grapes, largely Pinot Noir and a few acres of Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. The south facing vineyard sits in a viticultural region called the Willakenzie District. The soil of the vineyard is shallow and very well draining with sandstone subsoil. The vineyard has never been irrigated.

Currently the winery supplies several top Pinot Noir producers in Oregon (Archery Summit, Beaux Freres, Ken Wright, Panther Creek, and St. Innocent) and one in California (Sine Qua Non). The Wine Enthusiast in its annual review of Oregon wines in December 2000, wrote, "It is no coincidence that our two top rated wines... were made from fruit from Richard Shea's perennially superb Willamette Valley vineyard."
