MESSAGE FROM THE WINEMAKER JENNIFER WALL

HAPPY SUMMER!

We are pleased to be sending you the second edition of the J. Lynne Russian River Valley Wines 2009 newsletter.

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

It’s hard to believe that more than half the year has passed and we are already preparing for this year’s harvest. So far, the 2009 vintage looks as if it will be plentiful.

While we plan our upcoming harvest, at the same time we are tending to our 2008 vintage wines. Our 2008 J. Lynne Single Vineyard Russian River Valley Chardonnay was pulled out of barrel last month. Approximately 600 cases of this wine will be bottled next month.

Our 2008 J. Lynne Two Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir will enjoy a bit more barrel time, and we plan on bottling this wine in October. As always, J. Lynne wines are only aged in French oak.

We are pleased to announce that J. Lynne Wines are now available at VINE TASTINGS Tasting Room located on the Windsor Town Green in Windsor, California. Both the 2007 J. Lynne Single Vineyard Russian River Valley Chardonnay and the 2007 J. Lynne Two Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir are available for tasting, by the glass and also by the bottle. If you are planning on visiting Sonoma County, please come and visit Vine Tastings!

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

2007 J. Lynne Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

Cameron Ranch and Saralee’s Vineyard
(A Blend of 2 Vineyards)
Only 973 cases produced.

Less than 650 Cases Available!

Saralee’s Vineyard is located just 3 miles west of the Cameron Ranch, at the cross of River Road and Slusser Road.

2007 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.

The grapes from the 2007 vintage were left on the vine late into the growing season to ensure maximum maturity. Once the grapes were ready to be harvested, they were hand selected to ensure only the best fruit was chosen for these wines.
