Tasting Notes
Aromas are playful with bountiful red raspberry and cherry accompanied by baking spice, floral rosemary and thyme. Red fruits and baking spice are mirrored on the palate, with added notes of hibiscus, black tea, worn leather, and earthy forest floor. The finish is long and carried by harmonious young tannins and mouth watering acidity.
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.
