Scott Paul Pinot noir La Paulee 06

The nose has complex fruit and flower notes. The palate is textured and silky. Ripe red cheries, raspberry notes and black fruit undertones develop as the wine flows onto the lingering finish. Vineyards: Shea, Stoller, Ribbon Ridge and Momtazi.

2005 vintage tasting notes: Rated by Food and Wine magazine as one of the best American Pinot Noirs. Classic Oregon Pinot, with rich raspberry-driven flavors and balancing acidity for long term cellaring.

2003 vintage tasting notes: Scott Paul Wines La Paulee 03: Wine Spectator rating 90 points: "Ripe, broad and open, with firm tannins around a generous core of peppery, earthy and smoky cherry and berry flavors. Has a bite to it. From the former general manager of Domaine Drouhin. Best from 2006 through 2012." -H.S.

Detailed Info, Previous Vintage Notes, Reviews:

From the winery: "Every year in the cellar there are certain lots of wine that simply jump out at you with their intensity of flavors, multiple layers of complexity, and superior length. These are the lots that comprise the La Paul?e bottling."

Made from Stoller and Shea Vineyard fruit, the winery says: "grat concentration, many layers of flavor here. Extremely elegant, superior texture and mouthfeel. Black rasrpberries, black cherries and crushed raspberries about, velvet in the mouth and great length. Lovely now, and should continue to improve in the bottle over the next 5-7 years."
