EnRoute Winery
Les Pommiers Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
EnRoute was established in the Russian River Valley in 2007 by the partners of Napa Valley’s Far Niente winery and introduced its first wine, “Les Pommiers,” in May 2009, and named for the apple orchards that once flourished in the region. Complex fruit aromas with floral and mineral notes. On the palate cherry and raspberry flavors with tobacco and smoky oak, well structured tannins. Nice mouthfeel, zesty acidity ending with mineral and oak tones. Nice! Tasting Sample.

Feb 22nd, 2016A wonderfully perfumed Pinot with new world brightness balanced by old world sensibility. Rounded red fruits shift throughout the palate - red currant to cherry - with a little earth and a bit of spicy licorice! Smooth tannins and good acidity make a nuanced but vibrant wine. It was heartily enjoyed with Cornish game hen with thyme and Herbes de Provence.
