Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
An exotic array of baking spices, clove, five spice and spearmint are countered with kirsch and baked cherry notes in this deep and brooding nose. Across the intense, richly textured palate pronounced dark red fruit, forest floor and mushroom characteristics lead on to a long, complex finish. Firm, tightly wound tannins and mouth watering acidity ensure this wine has great cellaring potential.
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.
