Tasting Notes
A perfumed and pretty nose sporting boysenberry, floral and
spice, contrasted by red and dark red fruit characters that
show off the signature of this estate vineyard. The dense but
buoyant palate isn't shy, with dark berry flavors, spice, and
whole cluster signature shining through. Soft and
elegant, this wine is supported with harmonious acidity and
silky tannins.
Vineyard Notes
100% La Belle Promenade Vineyard | Chehalem Mountains AVA | 700 - 800’ Elevation | Northeastern & Southwestern Exposure | Volcanic Soils, Jory & Nekia | Planted to Mixed Pinot Noir Clones |
La Belle Promenade Vineyard is planted to 36 acres of Pinot Noir,
Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, Grüner Veltliner and Aligoté. It sits on
top of volcanic soils, with the western portion of the site consisting of a thick layer of fractured basalt. Due in part to its high elevation, this site allows for great diversity in concert with our other estate vineyard, Flanerie.
