Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The 2014 Flânerie Vineyard Pinot Noir remains vibrant and full of life. This elegant wine reveals captivating earthy tertiary notes of forest floor and tea, beautifully complemented by ripe blackberry and cherry fruit. Layered with spicy white pepper, savory hoisin sauce, cinnamon, cacao, and a hint of mint, this wine showcases the beauty of aging Willamette Valley Pinot Noir.
Vineyard Notes
Flânerie Vineyard was established in 2003. The 10-acre site sits at 250’–350’ in elevation on the eastern slope of the Ribbon Ridge AVA. The east-to-west orientation of its rows maximizes sun exposure,
promoting greater tannin structure in an already warmer microclimate. Despite this warmth, the site retains impressive acidity. Combined with its sedimentary soils, the terroir produces spicy and savory wines with structure, light red fruit character, and age-worthy potential. This site is dry farmed in house using organic farming practices.
