november 2026
november 2026 Dear Pinot Enthusiast, As the season turns toward gratitude and the gathered table, few wines feel more at home than Russian River Pinot Noir. This shipment offers three: Amber Ridge Vineyard, Hallberg Vineyard, and Saxon Priest Vineyard, each grown as much as made. Pinot's charm lies in its range, supple for the everyday and expressive for the celebration. Devotees will tell you that's the joy of it — that each expression has something of its own to say. Across these three, a single appellation speaks in three voices. Share them over an unhurried meal with people you're glad to have close. Warmly,
Michael Accurso enroute winemaker
2024 EnRoute Amber Ridge Pinot Noir russian river valley
Alluring aromas of alpine strawberry and candied red cherry are layered with cinnamon, clove and cardamom. Rich yet lifted on the palate, bright red fruit mingles with caramel oak and a savory thread of spice. Fresh acidity keeps the wine balanced and energetic, while confectionary spice adds warmth and complexity. The finish is long and satisfying, carrying vibrant red fruit and lingering spice with a polished, expressive character. APPELLATION Russian River Valley

Mouthwatering acidity keeps the richness beautifully balanced, while subtle earthy notes add depth and complexity. The finish is long and composed, trailing blue fruit and a delicate dusting of warm spice. APPELLATION Russian River Valley

2024 EnRoute Saxon PriestVineyard Pinot Noir russian river valley
Black cherry and Japanese plum lead the aromatics, underscored by a distinctive seafoam minerality that hints at the vineyard’s Goldridge soils. The palate is structured and focused, with bright acidity bringing energy to the concentrated dark fruit. Seamlessly integrated tannins provide polish and definition, while subtle savory notes add complexity. Toasty oak emerges through a long, contemplative finish, balancing power and freshness with the structure for graceful aging. APPELLATION Russian River Valley
