2016 Bon Vivant Pinot Noir

75% La Belle Promenade Vineyard AVA: Chehalem Mountains • Elevation: 700-820 Ft. • Exposure: North East/South West Soils: Volcanic (Jory/ Nekia) • Native Yeast Fermentation • Farming Practices: Dry farmed/ Organic Principles - La Belle Promenade is 33 acres of volcanic soils, with the western portion of the site consisting of a thick layer of fractured basalt. The vineyard was planted in 2014 to 26 acres of Pinot Noir, 5 acres of Chardonnay and 2 acres of Pinot Meunier. Due in part to its high elevation, this site allows for great diversity in concert with our other estate vineyard. 25% Flanerie Vineyard AVA: Ribbon Ridge • Elevation: 250-350 Ft. • Exposure: East • Soils: Marine Sedimentary (Willakenzie Series) • Native Yeast Fermentation • Farming Practices: Dry farmed/ Organic Principles - The Flanerie Vineyard, planted in 2003, sits facing due east on the southern edge of the Ribbon Ridge AVA. The terrain is comprised of a thin layer of topsoil over a deep seam of marine sedimentary motherock. These dry farmed vines produce intense wines with dark fruit and unique meaty/ savory signature.
