{"product_id":"2024-walter-scott-pinot-noir-willamette-valley-la-combe-verte-750ml","title":"2024 Walter Scott - Pinot Noir Willamette Valley La Combe Verte (750ml)","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWalter Scott was founded in 2008 by Ken Pahlow and Erica Landon, whose first vintage was incubated with help from friends at Patricia Green Cellars. Based in the Eola-Amity Hills, the winery has quietly built a reputation as one of Oregon's most Burgundian-minded producers, working exclusively with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Pahlow and Landon often cite the belief that a great domaine reveals itself through its entry-level bottling, and they apply the same care to their multi-vineyard Willamette Valley wines as they do to their single-vineyard selections, an approach that runs through everything they release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eLa Combe Verte, meaning \"the green valley,\" blends fruit from the volcanic soils of Eola-Amity Hills sites with the marine sedimentary character of Sequitur and Freedom Hill vineyards. This pairing of soil types gives the wine both elegance and structure, drawing on old-vine Pinot Noir plantings alongside younger volcanic-soil parcels. The grapes undergo partial whole-cluster fermentation with native yeasts, and the finished wine ages around ten months in French oak, roughly a quarter of it new, a treatment calibrated to add framework without masking the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe nose offers ripe raspberry and black cherry alongside hibiscus, violet, and a warm hint of sandalwood. On the palate, dense fruit meets succulent tannins and vibrant acidity, striking a balance between power and grace typical of Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. Pour this wine alongside roasted salmon, herb-marinated pork tenderloin, or a wedge salad topped with blue cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Walter Scott","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46606488207546,"sku":"105093","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0724\/6836\/5498\/files\/WalterScottPNCombeVertBottle.jpg?v=1788978145","url":"https:\/\/bassins.com\/products\/2024-walter-scott-pinot-noir-willamette-valley-la-combe-verte-750ml","provider":"MacArthur Beverages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
