Once an importer and boutique producer, the Scott Paul winery was sold to a long-time partner, Cameron Healy in 2014. I’ll be curious to see if the style of the wine changes under the direction of Healy. The 2006 Scott Paul ‘Audrey’ Dundee Hills Pinot Noir has developed nicely, showing pretty notes of black cherries, woodsmoke, forest floor, rose hips, anise and a lovely top note of incense. Garnet-robed with a watery rim, it’s quite vibrant, with lively acidity, fine tannins and excellent length.
