EnRoute Winery was established in California's Russian River Valley in 2007 by the partners of Napa Valley's Far Niente Winery as a culmination of over 30 years of passion for Pinot Noir. Devoted to producing the best Pinot Noir the Russian River Valley has to offer, EnRoute introduced its first wine, "Les Pommiers" Pinot Noir, named for the apple orchards that once flourished in the region. The wine reflects a blend of vineyards primarily from the Green Valley and Sonoma Coast appellations within the overlapping Russian River Valley AVA. It is truly a wine to treasure.
EnRoute 2019 "Les Pommiers" Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley has an SRP of $60. The flagship wine of EnRoute, "Les Pommiers'' reflects the best Pinot Noir that the Russian River Valley has to offer. A blend of fruit from select vineyards within the Russian River Valley AVA, "Les Pommiers" is plush and ripe on the palate, offering bright notes of raspberry preserves and forest floor, plus the baking spice and confectionary accents that result from an elegant balance of new and neutral oak.
