RouteStock Pinot Noir 2022
RouteStock is an invitation to discover the deep roots of winemaking in Napa and Sonoma with each step of your journey through different vineyard sites. The winery partners with a select group of dedicated grape-growers in the best viticultural areas for each of their varietals: Napa Valley for Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc, and Sonoma Coast for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Like every aspect of RouteStock, these appellations were individually selected with care to put each varietal at the greatest advantage and make the best possible wines while showcasing their distinct terroirs.
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.

| This earthier Pinot Noir is a deep garnet color, with flickering hints of a darker edge glint as the glass swirls. The nose is a woodsy affair, with aromas of cedar, black tea and tart black cherry emerging. Savory, lithe and balanced, the palate has a woodsy tannic grip at the finish. |
