Winemaker Notes
Flynn Vineyards Pinot Noir is blended from grapes from our own vineyards as well as additional vineyards under our management. As usual, we refrained from over oaking these wines, preferring to allow the natural fruit to express itself. The result is a wine which is eminently drinkable now, not too harsh on the palate, but with enough structure to allow it to continue to improve in the bottle. The wine is enjoyable by itself, or a good companion for food of modest weight, such as salmon, turkey or pork.
Flynn Vineyards Winery is located in Rickreall, Oregon, ten miles west of Salem. In 1990 Flynn Vineyards began construction of a new winery which is the realization of a plan conceived in 1982 when Wayne Flynn purchased fifty acres of property near the Eola Hills and planted his new land with Pinot Noir vines. In 1987, Mickey & Jeanne Flynn joined in a partnership with Wayne when they purchased the adjoining forty acres. Eleven acres were planted with Chardonnay and sixteen acres in Pinot Gris. The remaining acres were set aside for the winery site.
