Vivid red. Ripe cherry and boysenberry aromas show excellent clarity and complementary suggestions of rose oil, vanilla, succulent herbs and a hint of smoked meat. Appealingly sweet, palate-coating red and blue fruit, floral pastille and spicecake flavors slowly tighten up on the back half. Finishes with impressive length, sneaky tannins and resonating bitter cherry and spice notes. This outstanding Pinot benefits quite a bit from air at this stage.

Dark cherries and plums characterize the nose and fill out the palate, amid web-like tannins that carry dark chocolate and baking spices. Neatly grainy and gripping tannins at the finish. Drink or hold.

Rated 92 by Wine Advocate
The 2016 Pinot Noir Flanerie Vineyard opens with aromas of woodsmoke, saline, pepper and cured meats with a core of black fruit and potpourri, earthy accents. The medium-bodied palate has a firm, gently chalky frame and great freshness, finishing very long. This has the stuffing and structure to benefit from another year or two in bottle. 487 cases produced.

Rated 90 by Wine Enthusiast
From one of the winery's estate vineyards planted in 2003, this offers raspberry and cherry candy flavors backed by mineral highlights. It was fermented with 20% whole clusters and aged for 12 months in 37% new French oak.

Rated 90 by Wine Spectator
Trim and appealingly savory, with distinctive plum, smoked sage and spicy tea flavors that linger toward big, minerally tannins. Best after 2018. 337 cases made.
Winery
This wine boasts a nose and palate of concentrated, dark red fruit and spice with tension, mouthwatering acidity, and firm tannins. Enjoy this wine today or watch it evolve in your cellar over the next decade.

Varietal: Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir translates as 'black pine' in French, and is named as such due to the extremely inky color of the fruits, which hang in bunches the shape of a pine cone. Wineries often struggle with Pinot Noir vines, as more than most red wine grape varietals, they fail in hot temperatures and are rather susceptible to various diseases which can be disastrous when hoping for a late harvest. Thanks to new technologies and methods for avoiding such problems, however, the Pinot Noir grape varietal has spread across the world to almost every major wine producing country. Why? Quite simply because this is considered to be one of the finest grape varietals one can cultivate, due to the fact that it can be used to produce a wide range of excellent wines full of interesting, fresh and fascinating flavors Their thin skins result in a fairly light-bodied wine, and the juices carry beautiful notes of summer fruits, currants and berries, and many, many more.

Region: Oregon

The Oregon wine industry is continuing to go from strength to strength, with many of their Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir wines winning important international awards in recent years. Oregon has also become renowned as an important region for the production of organic and biodynamic wines, demonstrating the fact that the wineries which are dotted across the diverse regions of the state are keen to experiment with their methods and techniques. A wide range of grape varietals flourish in Oregon, including an impressive array of Old World classic grapes alongside American hybrid varietals. This, coupled with the cooler climate and the mix of traditional and excitingly modern wine production methods makes Oregon a fascinating region for wine lovers, particularly those looking for something unique and utterly delicious.

Country: United States

Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.

Appellation: Willamette Valley

The beautiful wine region of Willamette Valley is located in Oregon, one of the main wine producing states of the USA. As in much of Oregon, Willamette Valley benefits enormously from the long, hot summers the state enjoys, and the mineral rich soils which typify the wine regions found there. Willamette Valley has built up a powerful reputation over the past few decades as one of the New World's leading producers of high quality, flavorful and characterful Pinot Noir wines, as the grapes of the Pinot Noir vine thrive particularly well in the region's climatic conditions. Willamette Valley is a fascinating wine region, and is a fine representative for the state of Oregon. Innovative techniques and wine making methods are fairly commonplace there, and the overall produce of the region seems to get better each year.
