EnRoute
2016 PINOT NOIR
LES POMMIERS
RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY
One of my favorite things about Pinot Noir is it’s vast complexity and EnRoute’s Les Pommiers has incredible clonal diversity ranging from Pommard, Mt. Eden, Swan, and Dijon clones to list a few. It’s created in a lush and enchanting style, fitting of the architecture at EnRoute’s sister winery Far Niente located in Napa Valley. EnRoute is a story written from extraordinary Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from vineyards in Sonoma’s Russian River Valley. The wines generous style and outgoing personality makes it a lot of fun to enjoy… I strongly recommend adding some to your collection.
Their 2016 Les Pommiers Pinot Noir was scribed from the winery’s Northern Spy Vineyard in Green Valley, and their Amber Ridge Vineyard located in the Middle Reach (Northernmost) area of the Russian River Valley. It’s the two vineyards that cast a wide variety of characters, each with qualities that compliment and support one another. The final result is a ride that you won’t want to miss…

Winery Notes: “The 2016 EnRoute Les Pommiers possesses the luxurious perfume aromatics and rich textures that we love about Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley. On the nose, aromas of ripe cherry and plum are complemented by notes of earth, sage and forest floor. Generous-yet-soft red-fruit flavors expand on the palate, with elegant tannins that are the definition of silky. A mouthwatering natural acidity glides across the finish, making this vintage irresistibly approachable upon release.“

I love it when a wine has flavors are so deep and penetrating, that it might be described as chilling, spine-tingling and scary good. All three of these descriptors came time mind when I tasted Laird’s 2016 Ghost Ranch Pinot Noir. It was authored by Brian Mox, who spent several vintages crafting the high-scoring Lewis wines, always ranking among the best in the Valley.
