93 WS                                                                       EnRoute was founded by the family of partners of Far Niente and Nickel & Nickel. Their journey to find the best place to make the Pinot Noir of their dreams culminates at last in EnRoute: Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. Limited. 93 Points Wine Spectator: "Rich, with an enveloping viscosity to the flavors of dark currant, plum tart and cherry pastry. Graphite and hot stone notes emerge midpalate, with dark chocolate details and hints of pepper on the finish." EnRoute 2018 "Les Pommiers" Pinot Noir draws its name from the apple orchards emblematic of the Russian River Valley's agricultural history. At once elegant and intense, Les Pommiers is the consummate blend of fruit from our vineyards located primarily in the Green Valley and upper Middle Reach areas of the Russian River Valley AVA. Our grapes are farmed according to organic principles and minimally handled at the winery. The wine is deftly shaped with a subtle combination of new and once-used French oak barrels. Les Pommiers captures aromatics of wild raspberry, black cherry, plum and floral notes that yield to mineral, spice and toasty oak. It has a juicy, coating entry, followed by more layers of raspberry and cherry fruit, and ripe, integrated tannins.

Thomas Lengyel

$38 Big nose. Notes of strawberry, blackberry, black cherry, cinnamon, and baking spice on the nose. High acid. Medium tannins. Medium alcohol. Off-Dry. Notes of strawberry, raspberry, red berries and gummy candy. Very fruit forward. This wine would benefit from aging. It has a medium to strong tang to start, but mellows after sitting. It's got a rich fruit flavor that grows in complexity. A very nice Pinot.

Very reliable Pinot. Earthy and a bit fruity. Needs to sit after poured. A bit effervescent. Would be interesting to age but very drinkable now.

Continues to be a solid Pinot. Earthy with some fruit but not over powering.

Quickly turning into a go to Pinot. Very deep and earthy and balanced. Nice for a night when you want a cab but maybe something lighter.

Strawberry, cherry, tarragon on the nose. Heat masked by nice acidity, mid palate has soft oak & tannins. Slightly sweet cranberry/tart cherry. Tasty!

Candied cherry aromas. More cherry, strawberry, tart cranberry, and subtle mint notes. I enjoyed this but kelly did not. The higher acidity and tart cherry/cranberry flavors she did not like.
