Delayed note - Enjoyed this but it was outclassed on Sat Night by some other Pinots, including a terrific 2005 A to Z Pinot (which I couldn’t locate the bottle to see the vineyard).

Light transparent red in color. Lovely perfumed nose of strawberries and violets. Beautiful, delicate fruit, strawberries, cherries. Fine tannins, precise acidity, perfect balance. Brightens with air, but I would not decant it. Finishes moderately long, savory with cherry notes. Lovely wine and no need to wait. Should hold for a few years.

Decanted 2 hrs. Having tasted a lot of Kelley Fox Pinot s over the last two years, this really seems like the first Scott Paul wine that bears a strong resemblance to wines under her own namesake. Starting with the nose, great scents of wild raspberry and spice, I suspect some percentage of whole clusters is at play here, maybe 25%? Would have liked to see a little more grip mid palate, but still highly enjoyable for sure. I do think better er drinking in the next 1 to 4 years.

A bit lighter in color to some of the others in the 2007 - 2014 vertical tasting we are doing...a bit more cola than cherry on this one.

Give it time to open up. Lots of spice going on with this one. Drink now.
