What to Expect

Oregon has only recently emerged as a source for premium wine and is winning fans over to their somewhat earthy style of Pinot Noir. With vineyards a bit cooler than most of California's, yet warmer still than Burgundy, Oregon's Pinot Noirs feature a synthesis of ripe fruit, ripe structure and transparency that draws on the strengths of both. The wines tend to have a touch of earthiness and a sense of transparency that many Pinots from California lack yet the fruit profile, full of dark berries, is decidedly warm-climate in nature.

Winemakers Notes

La Paulée – our most complete and complex wine of the vintage. The 2006 version brings together fruit from four different vineyards in four different sub-appellations, and together the combination displays the full spectrum of what Pinot Noir in the Willamette Valley can be.

Ribbon Ridge Vineyard (Ribbon Ridge AVA) 36% - We’ve worked with this site since 2003, and have always loved its rich mix of red and black fruits and great texture.
Momtazi Vineyard (McMinnville AVA) 19% - Farmed biodynamically with meticulous care, this gorgeous hillside brings concentrated black read more...fruit flavors and structure to the mix.
Stoller Vineyard (Dundee Hills AVA) 30% - A majestic site on the southern end of the Dundee Hills, which always shows pretty red fruits and spicy elements.
Shea Vineyard (Yamhill-Carlton AVA) 15% - Earth, power, dark fruits and ripe tannins are the signature of one of Oregon’s most venerated vineyards.

As always, all fermentations were natural, with no cultured yeasts added. The wine was raised for 10 months in French Oak – 20% new - and was bottled un-fined and un-filtered at 13.9% alcohol on August 23 & 24, 2007.

Scott & Kelley’s Tasting Notes
Swirling fruit and flower notes invite you in for a closer look. The first impression on the palate is one of texture – it’s quite rich and silky and seamless. And long. Ripe red cherries, raspberry notes, and black fruit undertones develop as the wine flows on into a pure and lingering finish. Seductive now, and better still 2009-2012+. Yum!    (hide)
