EnRoute Les Pommiers Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2023

A benchmark expression of Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, EnRoute Les Pommiers 2023 delivers elegance, purity, and the signature red‑fruited vibrancy that has made this cuvée a collector favorite. Crafted by the team behind Far Niente, this vintage showcases meticulous vineyard selection and a commitment to small‑lot winemaking.

Tasting Notes

• Aroma: Fresh red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal, and subtle baking spice lifted by hints of forest floor and vanilla.
• Palate: Silky and refined, offering layers of ripe raspberry, pomegranate, cranberry, and red plum, supported by supple tannins and a graceful line of acidity.
• Texture: Polished and medium‑bodied with a seamless balance of fruit, spice, and oak.
• Finish: Long, pure, and perfumed — a lingering echo of red berries and gentle spice.

Winemaking & Provenance

Les Pommiers is sourced from prime vineyards across the cool, fog‑kissed Russian River Valley, where coastal breezes and Goldridge soils create ideal conditions for expressive, aromatic Pinot Noir.
The 2023 vintage was fermented in small lots and aged in French oak barrels, enhancing structure while preserving the wine’s vibrant fruit character.
