EnRoute Wines, pursuing profound expressions of Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

Finding the delicate balance between ripeness and restraint is the secret to crafting a beautiful EnRoute Pinot Noir. We believe less is more with Pinot Noir: The less you try to manipulate it, the more it will express its depth and finesse.

Our journey begins each vintage with estate vineyards in Russian River Valley and the careful search for a few like-minded growers whose grapes can bring further dimension to our flagship cuvée, EnRoute Les Pommiers. In the cellar, our winemakers flip the script on small-batch, site-specific winemaking by blending the best blocks of Pinot Noir from each vineyard into Les Pommiers rather than reserving those grapes for their single-vineyard siblings. This lets our winemakers capture the finesse of the grape and the region in one wine and focus on expressing the nuances of site and vintage in EnRoute Pinot Noir vineyard designates.

EnRoute Chardonnays are admired for their elegance and vibrant character. Each vintage seeks to highlight Chardonnay’s most refined qualities, with a focus on precision and finesse. Aromas of citrus and delicate flowers lead into a palate brimming with crisp orchard fruits, supported by bright acidity and gentle hints of minerality. Each release exemplifies the consistent house style that makes EnRoute Chardonnay so distinctive.
