March 22, 2019 - 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.
July 23, 2018 - 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.

Tasted non blind. Opened and served immediately. Followed over 90 minutes.
Garnet color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of rubber tire, flowers and red berries. Flavors of strawberries, red raspberries and red berries. Medium to bright acidity, medium tannin, full bodied. Drink now.
Drinking well above pay grade. Nice bottle. Bottled under Stelvin too!
November 27, 2014 - 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.
September 28, 2014 - 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.
September 28, 2014 - 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.
July 4, 2013 - Cloudy, blood orange color is very unique. Fleshy aromas of raspberry, orange peel, sour cherry. Bright fruit with semi-sweet cherries, minerals, spice. Great tangy finish.
November 12, 2012 - Holding up well, can still lay down for several more years
October 14, 2012 - Ready to drink now though will still hold through 2016. Light earth on the nose- muted berry on front holding through mid with clear finish. Balanced acid with mild tannins
November 25, 2011 - Lovely at Thanksgiving with smoked and herbed turkey, mushroom gravy, and blueberry pie. Really complemented the flavors of the food.
