Decanter95 pts

The 2023 Scott Paul 'La Paulée' builds upon the richness of the 2022 release, offering even greater structure and mid-palate density. Sourced from a certified biodynamic single vineyard in the prestigious Dundee Hills of the Willamette Valley, this Pinot Noir displays enticing aromas of dark cherry, cool wet slate, and sandalwood. On the palate, the wine is focused, with superfine, firm tannins framing a linear profile that harmonises profound freshness with fruit density, highlighted by delicate notes of pressed flowers, blood orange, and a racy acidity that lends tension to this well-balanced wine. Named after Burgundy’s annual French harvest celebration, La Paulée.
