Elouan, the result of California winemakers venturing up to Oregon, one of the world’s renowned Pinot Noir regions. The goal: to produce Pinot Noir with depth of flavor, vibrancy and suppleness. For this wine we brought together fruit from three regions along Oregon’s coast: Willamette, Umpqua and Rogue Valleys, which harmonize beautifully when blended together. The diversity of these cool climate areas combined with an elongated growing season creates wine with intense structure, while maintaining a vibrant acidity that differentiates it from Pinot Noirs from other regions.
Elouan
Pinot Noir
2016Harmonious and elegant on the palate with flavors, of rich red plum, bright cherry, subtle earthiness and a hint of sweet tobacco, creating complex layers with soft, refined tannins.
Elouan
Rosé
2017Bright acidity enlivens the palate and flavors segue to notes of berries, tart stone fruits and concentrated minerality. On the mid-palate, the wine is rich and expansive with fresh acidity that carries flavors of freeze-dried berries and clementine rind through the long-lasting finish.
Elouan
Chardonnay
2016Lively aromatics and generous fruit define this Chardonnay. Full bodied and supremely balanced, with vibrant acidity in perfect harmony with rich, round fruit. Opulent mouthfeel with a clean finish.
Elouan
Klamath’s kettle Oregon reserve
2016Deep aromas of plum, red cherries and black currant jam with subtle touches of toasty vanilla and spice. Rich, ripe fruit flavors of plum, cherry, mixed berry jam, and blackberry. Smooth tannins round out the mouthfeel.
Elouan
Missoulan wash Oregon reserve
2016Lush and layered aromas of cranberry, strawberry jam and pomegranate mix with aromas of cocoa and spice. Elegant, bright and textured with flavors of cassis, strawberry, cherry, and hints of allspice and bacon. Rich and balanced with refined tannins.
We have managed to achieve ripe fruit characteristics, while retaining the quintessential Oregon Pinot Noir subtleties and nuances of bright acidity and a rich earthiness to the wine.
