Medium ruby/garnet with a floral nose. Lightly fruity with light acid and tannins for a soft mouthfeel. Less fruit forward on night two with a better balance and much more enjoyable to my tastes which run more restrained AFWE. Getting some red currants, cane bitter tannins, mossy forest and leather with a lightly tart twist.

(Scott Paul Cellars Pinot Noir La Paulée) Medium ruby color; tart red fruit, cinnamon, earthy nose; tasty, tight, tart cherry, tart red fruit, mineral palate; needs 1-2 years; medium-plus finish (11 mos in French oak, 20% new; totally destemmed; relatively good value at $32 SRP)

Very good, lots of funky barnyard notes that blend really well with the sour fruit. Medium bodied, nice acidity with a spicy warm finish.

A year and a half after first tasting, much more approachable. Berry aroma, sour cherry flavor, medium legs

Nice fruit. A little thin on finish. Drank alongside an '08, which was more structured.
