Thee nose is classic twigs and branches..
for an old, inexpensive Pinot, the acidity is still strong. From front to back and beyond. It carries a few tart fruits with it, alpine berry, polish plum, Jolly rancher. All and all a worthy wine for a stormy Thursday.

Aug 22nd, 2019Tart cherry lingers in the nose.
A touch of citrus, mingling with blueberry applesauce pie, jolly rancher blue, goose berry.
Light tannins with a strong, acidic backbone, much like a candidate running for an office..

Still troubled by a prickle of CO2 but once it blows off, convincingly brambly fruited, sapid/stemmy and soil inflected.

The expression of the Scott Paul La Paulée Pinot Noir is very much in line with what I would expect from the 2012 vintage in the Willamette Valley. A year with textbook growing conditions has endowed this Pinot with suitably lush red-fruit notes—black cherries and crushed raspberries are underpinned by notes of iron, forest floor, decomposing leaves, and a whisp of smoke. The impression of lushness carries over on the palate and is lifted by moderate acidity and an enduring, lightly spicy finish. Sample

Not a fan. Tastes like Gamay with CO2. Tons of acidity and cherry but not a ton more.

Nose: smoky blackberry pie. In the glass, The smoke carries over as toasted oak, followed by dark red cherries and tart boysenberries. Purchased from @garagiste

Tar little berries, smooth scone like yeastiness, and zippity kumquat acidity.
Low tannins, hints of those twigs and branch berries, the occasional fresh St.Johns bay leaf.
A perfect Pi in a bottle on 3.14.
