| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.4 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 13 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by coolfella on 10/28/2020 & rated 92 points: Bottle was in a perfect condition. PnP. Upon opening, noticeable bretty barnyard on the nose that sort of blew away after about an hour. Typical Pinot fruit with some stemmy character. Color as well as palate seems slightly advanced, but in a good way. Medium acidity, light tannin that is just enough to give the wine structure. Very enjoyable. Will try again in a year or two. (1127 views) | | | Tasted by french16 on 10/30/2019: Modern style. Noticeable oak and extraction. Pretty boring (1466 views) | | | Tasted by dead puddle on 5/7/2018 & rated 92 points: Blind tasting. Superb rasberry juice. Mouth dense, juicy, lively with shy tertiary nose. Suberp. A style like a new Zealand pinot. (1942 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 3/14/2014: Impressions from the 2014 La Paulee Verticals Tasting (Fairmont Hotel, San Francisco): Very herbaceous. Stringy texture, little fruit. Could this really be a 2009?? (4415 views) | | | Tasted by rjonwine@gmail.com on 3/14/2014 & rated 89 points: Light red color with pale meniscus; lifted, sous bois, dried twigs, rosehips nose; reduction, rosehips, very tart cranberry, mineral palate; needs 5-plus years; medium-plus finish (616 views) | | | Tasted by Keith Levenberg on 2/4/2013 & rated 89 points: On first opening, the overwhelming scents of wood shavings and coffee grounds had me thinking that this was as far along the right tail of the oakiness bell curve as I ever tend to experience, but the wood did relax its grip and it turned out to be a very pleasant wine, with some stony earthiness peaking through and a refinement that seemed especially impressive -- there is really fine-grained, lacey tannin here and a very slender feminine figure. (6311 views) | | | Tasted by farinas on 8/29/2012 & rated 91 points: deep color for a pinot, complex bouquet of black cherry, cassis, and wood glue, excellent entry, concentrated medium body just a click short of great, medium long finish. It is bottles like this that propel me to navigate through the multitude of vineyards in Burgundy to find gems.

(3063 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 2/25/2012 & rated 89 points: Grand Tasting - La Paulee de San Francisco (Westin St. Francis - San Francisco CA): Very aromatically reticent for a 2009, this shows tart red cherry, modest spice and a gamy, meaty character on nose and palate. Everything seems quite nice but subdued today. (4155 views) | | | Tasted by xwine on 2/24/2012: La Paulée de San Francisco 2012 Verticals Tasting (The Westin St. Francis, San Francisco): Reduced, can’t get past the nose. (2516 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 2/24/2012 & rated 89 points: The Verticals at La Paulee de San Francisco (Westin St. Francis - San Francisco CA): Subtle red cherry on nose and palate. Modest spice on nose that comes through more consistently on the palate. A good gamy character to this with good acids and robust tannins. (2908 views) | | | Tasted by cct on 2/18/2012 & rated 91 points: light med ruby. This has a lovely pure and deep cooler pinot fruit nose with excellent spice, and a little moss- earth. Nice perfume here. There is some cool spice and while medium bodied, there is plenty of sap, and flavor that impresses with its layers more than mass. Soft and supple, meanwhile, elegant and lithe. There is plenty of depth here. This is delicious bottle of wine that impresses with its balance. Quite long. Outstanding 91 pts (1674 views) |

| David Duband Producer websitePinot Noir Varietal character (Appellation America) | Varietal article (Wikipedia)
Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Jura, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.
Pinot Noir is one of the world's most prestigious grapes. It is very difficult to grow and thrives well in France, especially in Champagne and Burgundy. Pinot Noir thrives less in hot areas, is picky on soil, and deserves some oak storage.
Pinot Noir, or Blauburgunder / Spätburgunder in German, is a blue grapevine - and, as the German name suggests, the grape comes originally from Burgundy in France.
The grape, which thrives in calcareous soils, is used primarily for the production of red wine, and it is widely regarded as producing some of the best wines in the world. The wine style is often medium-bodied with high fruit acidity and soft tannins. It can be quite peculiar in fragrance and taste, and not least in structure - which may be why it is referred to as "The Grapes Ballerina".
Pinot Noir is also an important ingredient in sparkling wines, not least in champagne since it is fruity, has good acidity and contains relatively little tannins.
The grape is considered quite demanding to grow. The class itself consists of tightly packed grapes, which makes it more sensitive to rot and other diseases.
Pinot Noir changes quite easily and is genetically unstable. It buds and matures early which results in it often being well ripened. Climate is important for this type of grape. It likes best in cool climates - in warm climates the wines can be relaxed and slightly pickled.
In cooler climates, the wine can get a hint of cabbage and wet leaves, while in slightly warmer regions we often find notes of red berries (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, currants), roses and slightly green notes when the wine is young. With age, more complex aromas of forest floor, fungi and meat emerge.
In Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary, it often produces light wines with less character. However, it has produced very good results in California, Oregon and New Zealand.
With its soft tannins and delicate aroma, it is excellent for white fish, chicken and light meat. For the stored wines you can serve small game. Classic duck breast is a matter of course, a Boeuf Burgundy and Pinot Noir are pure happiness.
Pinot Noir loses quality by over-harvesting.
Pinot Noir is prone to diseases, especially rot and mildew. Viruses cause major problems especially in Burgundy.
Pinot Noir are large round grapes with thin skins. Relatively high in alcohol content. Medium rich tannins and good with acid.
As a young person, Pinot Noir has a distinctly fruity character such as raspberries, cherries and strawberries.
A mature Pinot Noir, the taste is different. Cherry goes into plum and prune flavors. It smells of rotten leaves, coffee, moist forest floor and animal wine. This must be experienced.
In warm climates you find boiled plum, some rustic, little acid.
If the grapes are over-grown, the wine will be thin, with little color and flavor.France Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
