ENROUTE PINOT NOIR LES POMMIERS

EnRoute Pinot Noir “Les Pommiers” is an elegant and expressive California Pinot Noir from the renowned Russian River Valley, a region celebrated for producing beautifully balanced wines with exceptional finesse, aromatic complexity, and vibrant fruit character. Crafted by the team behind Far Niente, EnRoute showcases the sophisticated side of Sonoma Pinot Noir while maintaining an inviting, polished style.

“Les Pommiers,” meaning “the apple trees” in French, takes its name from the apple orchards that once defined the property. The wine reflects the cool-climate influence of the Russian River Valley, delivering a graceful combination of ripe red fruit, floral aromatics, silky tannins, and subtle French oak.

The nose is immediately enticing, offering layers of fresh strawberry, raspberry, Bing cherry, red plum, violet, and delicate spice. With air, nuances of earth, vanilla, cedar, and gentle baking spice emerge, adding depth without overwhelming the fruit.

On the palate, EnRoute Les Pommiers is silky, supple, and beautifully balanced, with flavors of ripe cherry, raspberry, cranberry, and red plum supported by refreshing acidity and refined tannins. Subtle notes of vanilla, mocha, and oak contribute additional complexity, while the finish is graceful, persistent, and remarkably smooth.
