Elouan Pinot Noir 2021

The Elouan Pinot Noir 2021 is a bold, expressive, and fruit-forward New World red wine that perfectly captures the wild, sun-drenched pastoral spirit of Oregon's diverse coastal winegrowing regions during an exceptional, highly celebrated vintage. It pours a beautiful dark magenta and ruby-scarlet colour with brilliant reflections in the glass, lifting with an immediate, refreshing bouquet of baked cherry pie, fresh cranberries, dark plum, and marionberry, seamlessly layered with complex undertones of sweet tobacco spice, dark chocolate, vanilla crème, and subtle white pepper. On the palate, this full-bodied Pinot Noir is remarkably smooth, juicy, and round, coating the mouth with pure, velvety intensities of rich raspberry jam, candied cranberry, and wild bramble fruits that balance the naturally robust and opulent profile of the 2021 vintage. Matured thoughtfully with premium French oak components to maximize its structural depth and natural sophistication, it is driven by a balanced, food-friendly acidity and soft, refined tannins that carry into a clean, energetic finish accented by a lingering touch of warm clove and savory baking spice.

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with casual or premium fare, including roasted pork loin with garlic and thyme, rosemary-crusted lamb chops, barbecued ribs in savory sauce, chicken cacciatore, caramelized mushroom flatbread, and semi-hard or aged cheeses.
