Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The 2012 La Paulee is a selection of the best lots of the year, from four of the winery's different vineyard sites. The result is a wine that perfectly captures the character and personality of this most superb vintage. Three different AVAs are represented, starting with the Dundee Hills. Fruit from our biodynamically farmed acreage at Maresh Vineyard leads the way, with bright red cherry, wild strawberry and the spice notes typical of the terroir. From our acreage at Nysa Vineyard we get lovely hints of raspberries and violets and a silky texture.

Professional Ratings

91 Wine Enthusiast
Pretty scents of rosewater, raspberries and cherries introduce this light and pleasing wine. It carries some of the charm of a good strawberry soda, with forward fruit and a delicate frame. That said, it is not just a simple fruity wine, and gains weight and complexity as it breathes. Give it time to show you all it has. Editors' Choice.
90 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2012 Pinot Noir La Paulée comes from the Maresh Vineyard that is biodynamically farmed. Aged in French oak for ten months, it has a sophisticated bouquet with vibrant redcurrant and raspberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, well-judged acidity and an elegant red plum/mulberry finish. Though not in the same class as the Audrey Pinot Noir, this still represent outstanding value for money.

Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

View all products

Home of some of the planet’s most amazingly elegant and expressive Pinot noir, the Willamette Valley is a pastoral, mixed landscape of green, bucolic rolling hills, dramatic forestlands and small, independent, friendly wine growers. As a leader in environmental stewardship, the valley has some of the nation’s most protective land use policies, with two-thirds of its vineyards farmed sustainably and over half, organically. While the valley claims a cool, continental climate, and is heavily influenced by the cold, moist winds of the Pacific Ocean, its warm and dry summers allow for the steady, even ripening of Pinot noir.

The potential of Willamette Valley Pinot noir continues to attract the investment of serious growers and winemakers both locally and from abroad, as naturally the finished wines bring accolades from professionals and enthusiasts. With a range of styles from delicate dried cherry, raspberry and hibiscus to stronger notes of truffle, mocha, plum and spice, a fine Willamette Valley Pinot noir is a perfect expression of both character and grace.
