J. Lynne 2004 Russian River Pinot Noir

 

ACCOLADES:

  • From The Pinot File Review, Q3 2006: "I am convinced that woman winemakers really have a way with Pinot. After tasting literally thousands of Pinot Noirs over the last several years, I have found that women veer toward an elegant and balanced style that I find very appealing....This wine has alluring aromatics with cherry cola, cranberry and a touch of oak. It is light in color, but packed with flavor. The Pinot fruits were presented on an elegant platform and the wine finished smoothly with a touch of toast."

ACCOLADES:

  • November, 2004 -The Wine Enthusiast Magazine, Buying Guide
    "Good regional-style wine.”
  • Sept/Oct 2004 -Slammed Magazine.com, Grading the Grape: Pinot Noir
    By Veronica Picon
    “This is as light as Pinot Noir can be (not a flaw whatsoever). Nice-and-soft toasty aromas of red berries with an earthy accent that enhances the delicately spicy and clovey nose. Delicate, with red cherry flavors. A simple, truthful varietal, smooth, silky and easy.”
    Slammed Magazine.com
  • December 2003 Beverage Testing Institute
    "Recommended"
    www.tastings.com
  • December 2003 -Oliver’s Market Tasting Bar Schedule and Reviews
    “Jump! This is one of Renay’s ‘little finds’ that come and go leaving those that get some smiling smugly and those that miss out pouting and pointing at me. Only 192 cases were produced of this reasonably priced Pinot. In the mouth its smooth strawberry and vanilla cream, a touch of spice with undertones of bright cherry. The flavors are weaved together well and lead to a comfortable and lingering finish. Now, if you miss this one, don’t point.”
