MESSAGE FROM THE WINEMAKER,
JENNIFER WALL

Hello Friends!

We are pleased to be sending you the second edition of the J. Lynne Russian River Valley Wines 2008 newsletter in this first week of summer.

Here at J. Lynne Wines, we focus on making quality, small production, hand crafted wines from the Russian River Valley. We’ve been doing this since the 2002 vintage.

We are happy to announce that the 2006 J. Lynne "Two Vineyard" Russian River Valley Pinot Noir was awarded a GOLD medal at the 26th Annual West Coast Wine Competition, held in Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, California. Over 1700 wines were evaluated by the most experienced pool of North American wine industry professionals.

Very few of these cases are available. Please visit our web store for remaining case availability. The 2006 J. Lynne "single vineyard" Russian River Valley Chardonnay is already sold out.

After enjoying over 9 months in French oak, both the 2007 J. Lynne Russian River Valley Chardonnay and Pinot Noir were pumped out of barrels, in order to prepare them for bottling this summer. These wines will be released early this fall.

We thank you for your interest and support, and hope you have the opportunity to enjoy a glass of J. Lynne Russian River Valley wine soon.

Cheers,

Winemaker

2006 J. Lynne Russian River Valley Pinot Noir was de-stemmed and loosely crushed to maintain as many whole berries as possible as it was transferred into tank. The juice was allowed to cold soak for several days prior to inoculation. Following primary fermentation, J. Lynne Pinot Noir enjoyed more than 6 months in
French Oak prior to bottling.
