Flaneur Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2023

An excellent value in estate-grown Pinot, winemaker Grant Coulter put the emphasis on early enjoyment as few winemakers in the Valley can so deftly do. The '22 is exactly what we all want in an Everyday Pinot. A great combo of bright and dark elements–brighter aromatics with a darker spectrum of flavor. Savory and spice accents join keeping the focus where it’s intended: a juicy, rounded wine for drinking whenever you want (you know what we say: everyday!).  Flaneur has the right philosophy: “Love what you do, while you do it, and whom you do it with. We love nature. We love wine. We plan our meals around what wine we want to drink. We put our hearts and souls into everything we do. We do this by farming organically, making wine from the soul instead of from a book, being welcoming to our guests ,and being generous and helpful to everyone along the way. The results are delicious wines. We do it in a place we love, Oregon. Life is too short to spend it with people you don’t like and respect. We are a small and tight-knit team. When you are growing grapes and making wine, there are some long days that run into long nights. During harvest those days and nights run into weeks, spending every hour together. Our team is as diverse as it gets, from all corners of the country, but with a common goal: excellence in everything we do.”
