Happy fall & happy harvest!
We are pleased to be sending you the third 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 harvest is here! In the midst of this crazy season, we had the opportunity to attend the Sonoma County Harvest Fair Awards Night Gala where our J. Lynne Russian River Valley Pinot Noir was awarded a GOLD MEDAL.
In fact, we are proud to announce that our 2007 J. Lynne Two Vineyard Pinot Noir was the only Russian River Valley Pinot Noir in the $25 and under category to garner a GOLD MEDAL.
 |
Since our last newsletter, 593 cases of our 2008 J. Lynne Single Vineyard Russian River Valley Chardonnay were bottled and released. This Wes Cameron Ranch Chardonnay was hand picked, whole cluster pressed and aged in French oak until it was perfect to bottle and release. This Wente clone Chardonnay captures the true essence of a Russian River Valley Chardonnay with tropical pineapple aromatics and flavors. This medium weight Chardonnay has a rich creaminess which complements the lingering crisp apple finish. |

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

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.
