Scott Paul 2009 Dix Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)
- Editors' Choice
- $40
Wow, this is a glorious bottle of Pinot Noir. It was designed to celebrate the winery’s 10th vintage (hence the name, Dix) and is a barrel selection of Maresh Vineyard grapes. Textural, lush, smooth, supple and utterly delicious, its red and black fruits are dappled with dusty spices, dusted with coffee grounds, and glide into a silky finish. Yummy beyond words.

Scott Paul 2008 Audrey Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)
- Online Exclusive
- $65
All Maresh vineyard grapes are behind this gorgeous and feminine Pinot, with soft and evocative scents of truffle, chocolate and raspberry. Brilliant winemaking that takes all the elements of great Oregon fruit and puts them into unique focus, with winemaker Kelley Fox’s trademark blend of biodynamic earthy/fungal flavors, elegant berry/cherry fruit, and just a…

Scott Paul 2009 La Paulée Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)
- Editors' Choice
- $32
A selection of the best lots of the vintage, here sourced entirely from biodynamically-farmed blocks of the Maresh Vineyard in the Dundee Hills. Among the most Burgundian of all Oregon Pinots, this complex, cellar-ready wine shows ripe red and black fruits, old vine hints of dried leaves, light herb and autumnal profundity.

Scott Paul 2007 La Paulée Pinot Noir
- Online Exclusive
- $30
Four vineyards – Ribbon Ridge, Momtazi, Maresh and Shea – are included here. Soft and seductive, this wine caresses the palate with silky fruit. Aromatically it weaves together red fruits, truffles and clean, earthy scents. It reaches just over 13% alcohol; truly Burgundian yet with an Oregon flair to the fruit flavors. It puts the lie to any notion that this was a…

Scott Paul 2000 Pisoni Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)
- Editors' Choice
- $40
This rendition of Pisoni is big, but also lush and soft. Dark, earthy and rich, loaded with plum and dried-spice flavors, the wine finishes long, picking up hints of smoked meat. With a wine this ready to please, why wait? Drink now–2005. Editors’ Choice.

Scott Paul 2005 Audrey Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)
- $55
Another outstanding Pinot Noir from this rising star winery. The tangy fruit swirls around cranberry, black cherry and plum, with side-car notes of bay leaf and sage. The wine extends itself into a lingering finish, promising further development ahead. It is balanced, textural and complex.

Scott Paul 2006 Audrey Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)
- $55
Structure may be the Holy Grail in Oregon, even trumping terroir. This wine has an abundance of both; the Dundee Hills fruit brings rich flavors of blackberry and black cherry, along with interesting notes of iron and earth. But the lovely structure—a perfect balance of fruit, acid, oak and alcohol—takes the wine into a more complex dimension. It moves gracefully…

Scott Paul 2009 Audrey Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)
- $65
Fermented in a Taransaud French oak open top tank, using Maresh Vineyard grapes exclusively, this delicious wine combines pretty cherry and pomegranate fruit with dusty spices, leading into a finish dappled with cinnamon toast and coconut. Lovely now, or give it a few more years in bottle.
