"From a vineyard owned by Flaneur winery and organically farmed, the 2023 Pinot Noir La Belle Promenade Vineyard is a youthful ruby/magenta color and offers very pretty notes of wildflowers, wet stones, and petrichor. Medium-bodied, it has a more focused feel, with mineral persistence, finely coiled tannins, and darker berried fruit. Medium-bodied, it has a good deal of intensity, with blackberries, rosemary, orange peel, and savory spice notes. Drink 2025-2035."

"The 2023 Pinot Noir La Belle Promenade Vineyard evolves in the glass as rosemary and sage mingle with wet stones and wild-stemmed strawberries. Juicy to the core, it impresses with cooling acidity and bright red and blue fruits, while a gentle tug of fine tannins gathers toward the close. Pleasantly chewy and long, it leaves a nuance of licorice and a subtle tinge of autumnal spice to fade slowly. There is lovely balance and concentration here that will promote cellaring."

"Matured in 18% new oak, the 2023 Pinot Noir La Belle Promenade Vineyard has intense aromas of cranberry, blackberry, conifer, oolong tea leaves and garrigue. The full-bodied palate is bursting with wild berry flavors. It's structured by chalky tannins and fireworks of fresh acidity and has a long, detailed finish."
