A sign of the Times when my Lemelson Pinot Noir from same vintage scores same aggregate score: 90 in Delectable. These are not the same experience. This Baudry is a powerhouse with multiple layers. Robust and almost bursting at the the seams with blackberry & cassis. A remarkable concentration of color, flavor, & nose-like a Volnay but more on cassis & black fruit spectrum. Also bay leaf, menthol, & eucalyptus. While I’ve held several Raffaults for our daughter’s birth year, I regret not laying down a few Baudrys given they are less prone to bottle variability. What a delicious, profound wine. Dressner import. — 4 months ago
Finally broke this one out for Valentine's Day 2021 after picking up at the winery. Still just as good as I remember. — a year ago
Lemelson Vineyards Pinot Noir 2017: Light/Medium body. Soft tannin structure. Vibrant red fruit aromas. Strawberry, cherry & pomegranate flavors with notes of baking spices, vanilla, oak & earth. Smooth, dry finish. For me, this was a pure, bright & harmonious Oregon Pinot; one that I would definitely recommend and/or drink again. Perfectly paired this wine with a delicious, 4 course meal. Truth be told, this was bottle 1 of 3 of this evening! Cheers🍷 — 6 months ago

Rich, deep pinot from Willamette. Nice tension. Reminds me of Tensley, for some reason. Probably because of its luscious fruit. Gift wine. — 4 months ago
