RouteStock Description

The wine has a vibrant medium-light Burgundy color with effusive aromas of sweet red and black fruits (raspberry and blackberry), rosemary, and orange blossom. The flavors are both lithe and brooding at the same time with the same raspberries and blackberries from the aroma along with a beautiful richness of sauteed mushrooms, wild sage, and soy sauce. The wine is medium-bodied, full of rich Pinot Noir flavor with an exotically long finish.

Not yet reviewed; 2021 vintage rated 92 points & 'Editors' Choice' by Wine Enthusiast: "Floral, plummy aromas and delicious raspberry and red cherry flavors animate this medium-bodied, moderately tannic wine. Nicely ripe it's also nicely tangy, making for good balance."

Grape Source: 2022 marks the second vintage we have included fruit from our estate vineyard into the blend along with fruit from our two long-term growers, one in the southern end of Sonoma Coast near Carneros and the other to the northwest of our vineyard, about two miles inland from the Pacific Ocean.
