rich, ripe, medium ruby; slightly confected quality of rose, raspberry, strawberry and cherry. Real Russian River profile - medium body, lovely texture. Heavier style but undeniably Pinot noir - very varietal

Fairly classic, down-the-middle Sonoma style if that’s your thing

I remember drinking this wine a few years ago and when thinking back, it feels like the newer vintages have upped their ripeness and extraction. This was quite dense with rich fruit and spice...crunchy cranberry, pomegranate, and black peppercorn aromatics. The front palate is loaded but fades a touch to where the finish is a bit thin. On the palate there is a lot of potpourri and spicy rhubarb pie wrapped in black cherries. Not much acidity. I’d drink these fairly early.

EnRoute established in the RRV in 2007 by the partners of Far Niente. Les Pommiers introduced in May 2009 and reflects a blend of vineyards from Green Valley and upper Middle Reach area of RRV AVA. Complex fruit aromas, cedar and mineral notes. On the palate cherry and cranberry flavors with tobacco and toasty oak, rich structured tannins. Nice mouthfeel, zesty crisp acidity ending with fruit, mineral and oak character. Nice! Tasting Sample.

EnRoute, established 2007 in Russian River Valley by the partners of Napa’s Far Niente winery. An outstanding wine, deep Ruby with aromas of ripe fruit flavors with subtle notes of earth and spice. On the palate cherry and ripe red plum, savory with gentle herb spice. Smooth fine ripe tannins, well balanced on long finish ending with perfect earthy character. Very Nice!

This is 3rd time in a month that we experienced EnRoute. Nice consistent offering. Standard Pinot flavors with some butterscotch added on the finish. Love that kind of finish.

A medium ruby. Strawberry nose. Slight perfume. Red licorice, plum, cranberry, with a nice balanced approach. Mid-palette finish.

Big fruit forward, red and plummy, spicy cinnamon, well integrated oak and smooth tannins....paired well with lobster thermador..
