The name Elouan means “good light”, which is reflective of the typically cool summers, yet abundant sunshine found in Oregon in the northern hemisphere’s premiere wine-growing region. The unique climate, diversity of soil types, and gentle sunlight form the foundation of this wine’s northern character. Combine this with the talents of Joe Wagner, is a fifth-generation Napa Valley winemaker whose passion and natural talent for winemaking quickly became apparent when, at the age of 19, he created his own award-winning single-vineyard Pinot Noir label, Belle Glos. In 2014, Joe formed Copper Cane Wine & Provisions, and Elouan was born. We will sample:
