In 2016, Mills Vineyard yielded a robust and expressive Pinot Noir that marries lovely dark berry layers of black currant and raspberry, with sophisticated notes of black tea, mushrooms, and moist earth.

The 2016 EnRoute Les Pommiers possesses the luxurious perfume aromatics and rich textures that we love about Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley. On the nose, aromas of ripe cherry and plum are complemented by notes of earth, sage and forest floor. Generous-yet-soft red-fruit flavors expand on the palate, with elegant tannins that are the definition of silky. A mouthwatering natural acidity glides across the finish, making this vintage irresistibly approachable upon release.

Winemaker’s Notes

A truly exemplary Pinot Noir, the 2019 Heirloom represents the epitome of our beloved estate vineyard, with incredible structure, complexity, and balance. Fresh, expressive, and nuanced, with layers of perfumed red berries and sweet baking spice notes of cinnamon and clove, coming forward from the delicate oak integration. The wine unfolds with rhubarb, Bing cherry and red currant compote, alongside hints of delicate orange pekoe tea, vanilla, and pink peppercorn. A vibrant acidity carries the red berry fruit and interweaves seamlessly with the fine-grained tannins, providing a generous, rich, silky, supple character. A true buoyancy is present, with a generous mouth-coating structure, sinewy texture, and a long persistent finish.

Tasting Notes

Aromas of red berries with toasty cinnamon and nutmeg, warming thyme, and rose. Beautiful raspberry, plum, and red cherry, with dark, earthy notes on the palate. Juicy and playful at first, then increasingly brooding with lovely depth.

Winemaker’s Notes

Complex aromas of ripe plum, forest floor, black truffle, barrel toast and fireplace embers lead to a silky rich mouthfeel with ripe cherry and red plum flavors over cured meat and dark toasted oak. Acidity plays on the palate the whole time but appears more on the finish with a touch of fine tannins and a kiss of espresso.
