Faintly translucent cherry red in color. A rich nose of cherries and lavender. Vibrant fruit, blackberries, strawberries, licorice. Firm tannins, nice acidity, beautiful balance. Moderately long finish with subtle cherry notes. The overall impression is eloquence without sacrificing the beautiful fruit. This should continue to drink well for another 4 or 5 years. Alas, it was my last bottle. (1031 views)

One of my favorite wines, the 2006 has done nothing but get better. Lightly spicy nose with floral elements in there. On the palate a bright rush of raspberry fruit and warm spices. The tannins are firm and the acidity perfectly in balance with the fruit and tannins. The overall impression is a delicate, lovely wine with a core of steel. The finish is long and lovely with that raspberry fruit going on forever. Just brilliant stuff and with many good years ahead of it. I have dropped from their list after Kelley Fox and Scott Wright departed, but, luckily, I have many of their wines in the cellar to savor. (1593 views)

Once an importer and boutique producer, the Scott Paul winery was sold to a long-time partner, Cameron Healy in 2014. I'll be curious to see if the style of the wine changes under the direction of Healy. The 2006 Scott Paul 'Audrey' Dundee Hills Pinot Noir has developed nicely, showing pretty notes of black cherries, woodsmoke, forest floor, rose hips, anise and a lovely top note of incense. Garnet-robed with a watery rim, it's quite vibrant, with lively acidity, fine tannins and excellent length. (3864 views)

BWC oregon: fairly light garnet colored.
Incredibly soft, ripe easy upon opening (screw top).
But after a short while much more interesting, earthy, secondary flavors.
This turned out to be my WOTN. (3984 views)

Oregon Pinot Tasting - Boerne Wine Club: At BWC tasting. My WOTN. Suprisingly only one other taster had this in his top three. Very lightly colored. Consistent with '13 note, orange and raspberry on delicate nose. Very soft palate, with nice strawberries, minerals. Best food wine of the night as well. (5124 views)

I will reverse my earlier notes about longevity. This is drinking well presently and should be consumed. Because of the stewed fruit character doesn't have the acidity to age. Drink it now! (2335 views)

With its soft red and black cherry doing it's namesake (Audrey Hepburn) proud. This has lovely elegance and finesse. Will likely hold my remaining bottles for over the next 3 to 5 years. (2419 views)
