Dive into the world of Oregon Pinot Noir with our exploration of Elouane, the exciting new project from winemaking prodigy Joe Wagner. Following his massive success with Meiomi (which he sold for hundreds of millions), Wagner brings his considerable talents to coastal Oregon vineyards with remarkable results.

The name "Elouane" combines two French words meaning "good light" – a perfect description for this luminous, beautifully crafted Pinot. Unlike wines that focus exclusively on Willamette Valley, this 2022 vintage sources grapes from southwestern, central, and northwestern coastal Oregon, creating a comprehensive taste of what the region has to offer.

What truly sets this wine apart is its stylistic departure from Wagner's previous work. While Meiomi embodied the bold, jammy New World approach, Elouane embraces a more traditional Burgundian profile – elegant, nuanced, and wonderfully balanced. Black cherry and plum notes lead the flavor parade, accompanied by subtle hints of cola, licorice, black pepper, herbs, and spice. The bright acidity creates a mouthwatering experience that keeps you coming back for more.

We were lucky enough to find this gem for just $12.99 (normally $22), making it an extraordinary value in today's market. This isn't your typical casual "patio pounder" – it's a thought-provoking wine that rewards attention while remaining wonderfully drinkable. Whether you're a dedicated Pinot enthusiast or just beginning to explore this noble grape variety, Elouane delivers a memorable experience that will have you wondering, "What was that delicious wine I had last week?"
