Walter Scott La Combe Verte Pinot noir 2010

I tasted the Verte and it went right to the top of my list of 2010 Pinots. A gorgeous, refreshing initial splash leads with fresh raspberries and a laser-like precision that glides across your mid palette. The white pepper finish makes this a nice step above other everyday-priced Pinots. It lives up to my high expectations of the 2010 vintage, meaning this wine is drinking beautifully right now AND has the structure to lay down for 8-10 years! - Andy

Walter Scott La Combe Verte Pinot noir 09 -

The 2009 Walter Scott La Combe Verte Pinot Noir is a superb representation of what the ‘09 vintage is turning out thus far. A true Willamette Valley Pinot, which has Holstein, Bishop Creek, and Hawk’s View fruit. A splendid finish of caramel with a hint of basil follows the straightforward beautiful berry fruit on the tongue. - Andy

The 2009 La Combe Verte means "The Green Fault" or "The Green Valley" and was named for the amazing team at Patricia Green Cellars, that, without their help we would still be sorting grapes! Essentially, it is Patty Green's fault that we were able to start this project. This wine is a blend of the three vineyards that we source fruit from. - the winery
