Review: |
"The 2021 Pinot Noir Sojeau Vineyard is perfumed with violets, pine, and red and black cherry fruit. It has tension and fresh crunchy fruit on the palate, with gripping structure, a long finish, and notes of ripe raspberry, turned earth, and cinnamon spice. Drink 2026-2036. Walter Scott was founded in 2008 by Erica Landon and her husband Ken Pahlow. Their first vintage was produced in 2009 out of Patricia Green Cellars, then at Evening Land, where Ken worked alongside Dominique Lafon. This clearly had an influence on the wines of Walter Scott, where they began producing Chardonnay in 2011. The next year they moved to their current winery space, which is located in front of the Justice Vineyard of the Eola-Amity Hills. They continue to raise the bar across their portfolio and are producing exceptional wines with purity and balance. The majority of these wines were tasted out of the barrel during my visit to the winery in July of 2022." |
