2023 Elouan Reserve Pinot Noir

The 2023 growing season in Oregon began with a cold, dry winter, followed by a wet and chilly early spring. By late April, a shift to warm, dry conditions accelerated bloom and ripening, with veraison arriving three weeks early. August's heat ensured optimal maturity, while brief fall rains extended hang time. For our Elouan Reserve Pinot Noir, we selected fruit from eight distinct clones, each contributing depth and complexity. The resulting wine bursts with cranberry, raspberry, blueberry, and ripe plum, balanced by vibrant acidity and layered with aromas of sage and forest floor. Harvest spanned mid-September to early October, capturing the vintage's exceptional character.
