Enroute Pinot Noir Les Pommiers

VINEYARD DESCRIPTION Our Northern Spy Vineyard in Russian River Valley’s Green Valley AVA was an abandoned apple orchard that was groomed specifically for EnRoute. We are thrilled with the quality of the fruit coming from this site which grows on the region’s famous Goldridge soils. Pommard 5 Mt. Eden Swan 2A and Dijon clones 115 and 777 are planted on 101-14 rootstock with 4 x 7 spacing in this vineyard. Our Amber Ridge Vineyard is located on rolling terrain in the upper Middle Reach area of the Russian River Valley. Planted with bilateral vertical trellising the clonal mix includes Pommard 5 Calera and Dijon clones 115 667 and 777 using 101-14 rootstock to limit vigor. Manzana Vineyard continues to play an important role in the Les Pommiers blend with its hillside fruit planted in Green Valley to Dijon clones 114 115 and Pommard 5. HARVEST NOTES 2015 was the earliest harvest on record for EnRoute with vineyards being picked an average of 14 days early. Drought conditions
