 Pinot Noir is my particular favorite -
The Holy Grail of Winemaking!!
Especially one that walks that fine line
between old and new world like this Route Stock!

91 Points! The Wine Spectator
“Svelte, with a crisp, minerally composure to the well-structured dried raspberry and berry flavors.
The finish offers notes of forest floor and floral accents.
Drink now through 2024.” 

90 Points! The Wine Enthusiast
“A wealth of savory earthiness is met by layers of balanced black cherry, wood and sage in this well-made, attractively priced wine.
The oak and tannin are well mannered and integrated, allowing room for the acidity and subtle baking spice to linger.” 
 

Our Thoughts on this wine.....

The wine has a bright garnet color with an amazingly high-toned explosive nose of sage, orange peel, raspberry and earth/mushrooms.
The palate is bright and lively with acidity and yet warm with flavors of black and red fruits, orange peel, well integrated French oak and herbs.
There is a great generous fresh forward varietal fruit to the wine making it great to drink now or over the next few years.
The balance of the wine keeps it fresh and at the same time mouth filling with full expansive flavors.
