Tasting Notes
The 2017 Flanerie Vineyard boasts both a nose and palate of concentrated, dark red fruit and spice. A cooler, more classic Willamette Valley vintage lended itself to beautiful tension, mouthwatering acidity, and firm tannins. This wine has developed beautifully since its original release making it a stunning wine to enjoy now with plenty of life to be cellared for years to come.
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.
