La Pauleé Pinot Noir

black cherry, raspberry, and some floral notes, 13% ABV, nice value

Smells of soft spiced cherry pie.

Light with a joyful zing of jolly rancher cherry, slight hints of clove and cinnamon, ends with a bitter end, like it was whole cluster fermented.
Enjoyable and fun, perfect for a grilled salad.

Earthy cherry flavors, abundant acid. For the money a decent everyday Pinot.

Meh

Nice bottle. Easy drinking, jolly rancher, cherries, a bit of cola, definite baking spice. Enjoyable.

Massive bottle variation compared to the first two bottles I had of this. This one actually tastes like Oregon Pinot. The nose is so much better with cola, cherries, some funk, spice very subdue, not acidic like the others. I’m guessing this was why the fire sale.

Bright and savory. Tart cranberry and raspberries accented with sage, menthol, and peppercorn. Pretty fruit, reminds me of thanksgiving... cranberry, orange rind, and spice. Soft mouthfeel, light tannins, an enjoyable acidity. Solid vintage of this wine.

Red fruited nose of cherry and strawberry with some slight rose pedal, stem, and forrest floor notes. Perhaps some tomato leaf as well.

Pretty light on the palate with similar notes to the nose. Sour cherry and under ripe strawberry with good acidity a kiss of tannin on the finish.

Not the most powerful or complex, but well made and easy drinking.

Reminds me of cherry pie - cherries, maybe red currant, spice. Not my favorite Oregon Pinot noir, but still very good.

I don’t generally like Pinot Noirs but this raspberry-esque Pinot is quite tasty!
