Introduction
My second time at IPNC. Here are the wines from the two days of lunch and dinner.
Flight 1 - Thursday Lunch (12 Notes)
Flight 2 - Thursday Dinner (21 Notes)
2010 Antica Terra Chardonnay Aurata
USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley
(7/26/2013)
Tasting. Ripe apple aromas and flavors, some peach as well on nose with a bit of new oak spice. Good balance with ok textures, still showing a bit of baby fat, so probably better in another year. Very good.

2006 Philippe Pacalet Chablis 1er Cru Vauligneau
France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis 1er Cru
(7/26/2013)
Tasting. Not Chablis-like to me, more 2006 in character with plenty of ripe fruit and just faint mineral or acid elements. Interesting, but just ok.

France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Ladoix 1er Cru
(7/26/2013)
Tasting. Rich start with ripe apple and pear, some tropical hints and a bit of new oak. Comes across as slightly fat but still maintaining finesse and energy. Good 1er.

France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru

2005 Cristom Pinot Noir Eileen Vineyard 93 Points
USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Eola - Amity Hills
(7/26/2013)
Tasting. Spice driven start with ripe black fruit on nose and palate. Very good power and concentration from start-to-finish with impressive structural support from fine tannins and acidity. Very good potential, this is just starting to reach its peak drinking window.

2010 Angela Pinot Noir Clawson Creek Vineyard
USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley
(7/26/2013)
Tasting. Floral start. all red fruit, on the more subtle side with a slightly thin finish. Perhaps better in another year or two as it integrates better. The 2009 also tasted tonight was more interesting and centered.

2009 Angela Pinot Noir Clawson Creek Vineyard
USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley
(7/26/2013)
Tasting. Mostly red fruit with good spice and concentration. Overall good balance and character. Should drink well for the next few years, close to 90 point quality.

2011 Sojourn Pinot Noir Silver Eagle Vineyard
USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast
(7/26/2013)
Tasting. Fat mostly black fruit aromas with ok spice. I preferred Sojourn's Rodgers Creek also just tasted but would expect most people would prefer this more lush cuvee.

2011 Sojourn Pinot Noir Rodgers Creek Vineyard Sonoma Coast
USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast
(7/26/2013)
Tasting. Red and black cherry start with some licorice and floral hints. Moderate concentration but very good energy provides support and length. I like this leaner style.

2008 Domaine Marc Roy Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin
(7/26/2013)
Tasting. Mostly black fruit aromas and flavors, both meaty and dense with some sauvage hints, good concentration and firm tannic structure that will benefit from a few more years to soften.

France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Saint-Romain

2007 Clotilde Davenne Irancy
France, Burgundy, Côtes d'Auxerre, Irancy
(7/26/2013)
Tasting. An unusual wine with lots of firm black fruit, some tannic, rustic character. Apparently this includes a small amount of Cesar in addition to Pinot Noir.

2010 Domaine Cyrot Buthiau Pommard 1er Cru Les Arvelets
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Pommard 1er Cru
(7/26/2013)
Tasting. Slightly subdued start with simple, fresh fruit and modest spice. Ripe fruit slightly hidden by the wine's very elegant structure. Good potential even if it comes across as slightly simple right now.

2010 J. Scott Cellars Pinot Noir
USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley
(7/26/2013)
Tasting. Earthy aromas and flavors with red fruit, good textures. Seemed slightly older than a 2010, but overall good value at around $20.

1999 Maison Champy Beaune 1er Cru Les Champs Pimont
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Beaune 1er Cru
(7/26/2013)

2007 Benjamin Leroux Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Aux Thorey
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru

2011 Kutch Pinot Noir McDougall Ranch
USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast
(7/26/2013)
Tasting. Fresh red fruit with some earthy hints. Plenty of acidity and some fine tannins. Good spice, helped by (80%?) whole cluster. Lots of energy, also some sharp elbows right now, I think this will have increased harmony in another year or two.

2006 Domaine Gille Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Cailles
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru
(7/26/2013)
Tasting. Good fruit, just a bit too much brett for my preference.

2007 Hirsch Vineyards Pinot Noir San Andreas Fault
USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast
(7/26/2013)
Tasting. Lots of tart red cherry, strawberry, raspberry aromas and flavors along with some licorice and dried herbs. Slightly austere or brooding today on palate, giving a lean character, but with the energy and dry extract to evolve nicely. Very good potential.

USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Ribbon Ridge
(7/27/2013)
Nice spice start with exciting red fruit, some cocoa and good spice and floral hints. Fresh fruit flavors with good energy and persistence. Easy to enjoy, this should also age nicely.

2005 Chehalem Pinot Noir Ridgecrest Vineyards
USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Ribbon Ridge
(7/27/2013)
Mature black fruit with good Asian spice, mostly on nose. Good acid and energy have kept this bright. Good place now and for another couple of years.

2008 Ayres Vineyard Pinot Noir Lewis Rogers Lane Ribbon Ridge 90 Points
USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Ribbon Ridge
(7/27/2013)
Red cherry and raspberry aromas and flavors, Asian five spice hints. nice floral hints. Very balanced and well textured help provide overall fine balance and persistence through good finish with medium depth and intensity consistent with good wine from young vines. At its peak now, certainly good for several more years.

I didn't really take notes at dinner, so these were just some highlights written from memory later that night.
2010 Domaine de Montille Corton-Charlemagne
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
(7/27/2013)
Tasting, brief note. Very lush and powerful with ripe apple, rounded character and some woodsy spice. Forward and very good now with sneaky structural support for the future.

2010 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault Clos de la Barre 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault
(7/27/2013)

2009 Jean Foillard Morgon Cuvée 3.14
France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Morgon
(7/27/2013)
Tasting, brief note. A rare/unusual wine but 2nd time i have had it in past year. Once again, it was easily mistakable as Pinot noir, very lush, forward and enjoyable with good depth and concentration for Morgon.

2001 Louis Jadot Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St. Jacques Domaine Louis Jadot Flawed

2000 E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Mouline 94 Points
France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Côte-Rôtie
(7/27/2013)
Tasting, brief note. Forward black fruit with espresso and cocoa hints with enticing spice. The forward and ripe fruit masks firm tannins and structure that are still taking their own time to soften. Very nice now, but this will still get better as the harmony increases.

1996 Domaine Jacques Prieur Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Santenots 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Volnay 1er Cru
(7/27/2013)
Tasting, brief note. Very forward and accessible for a 1996 with charming (mostly) black and blue fruit and classically Volnay spice and perfume. Moderate length and intensity but very good balance with sweet fruit and spice. At its peak now with good freshness, but I expect this will continue at this quality level for at least another decade while evolving.

France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Morey St. Denis 1er Cru
(7/27/2013)
Earthy black and red fruit aromas with some black pepper and dried herb aromas. Starting to mature nicely on palate with a firm, ever-so-slightly rustic touch in the middle. Good length with some power.

1988 E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Turque
France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Côte-Rôtie
(7/27/2013)
Tasting. Wow, this is black, meaty and dense with sensational concentration. Black cherry and plum with black pepper and spice. Power and incredibly fresh. Great balance and this has lots of upside going forward with decades of great wine experiences.

France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Beaune 1er Cru
(7/27/2013)
Tasting, from magnum. Lots of great red fruit just starting to show evolving, maturing character. Bit of oak spice, plenty of meaty spice and gamy character. Very good length and both power and finesse on finish.

2008 Acacia Pinot Noir Beckstoffer-Las Amigas Vineyard
USA, California, Napa / Sonoma, Carneros
(7/26/2013)
Extremely fat and forward with a lush nose and palate that came across as slightly top-heavy to me today. Ultra New world in style.

2009 Maison Champy Pommard
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Pommard
(7/26/2013)
All black fruit with very good spice. Slightly firm, but with 2009's fat fruit that comes across as charming. Slightly firm, almost rustic, but open and balanced. Moderate length and intensity, very impressive overall for its level.

2010 Anam Cara Pinot Noir Heather's Vineyard 90 Points
USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Chehalem Mountains
(7/26/2013)
Very pure raspberry and strawberry. Young vines planted in 2001, this wine is well served by new new oak (all one year) with its delicacy and elegance. Floral start, lots of red fruit. Lean, lacy, elegant and well textured.

2009 Archery Summit Pinot Noir Premier Cuvée
USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley

Ripe and rather fleshy. Very forward overall, giving it a simple and slightly off-center character.

France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Volnay
(7/26/2013)

2010 Bethel Heights Pinot Noir Flat Block 91 Points
USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Eola - Amity Hills
(7/26/2013)
Pure and elegant red fruit aromas and flavors. with a lacy, well textured character. Forward but also nicely balanced that makes it easy to enjoy but with the bones to age well for 5+ years.

2009 Cooper Mountain Vineyards Pinot Noir Reserve
USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley
(7/26/2013)
Firm and somewhat backward black fruit with ok spice. A bit rigid throughout with lots of structure that is hard to assess how/ when this will harmonize.

2007 Amity Vineyards Pinot Noir Crannell
USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley
(7/26/2013)

2009 Luminous Hills Pinot Noir Astra Estate Grown 92 Points
USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Yamhill-Carlton
(7/26/2013)
A personal favorite at lunch today, first time ever having wine from this producer. Great Asian five spice start with lots of red fruit and floral hints. Young vineyards with accessible and forward character but also potential for upside with its fine tannins and elegant acidity.
