The EnRoute Single-Vineyard Series Dinner is sold out for 2023!
This intimate dinner will celebrate Single Vineyard Pinot Noirs, and be a love note to Russian River Valley, led by the EnRoute Winemaking Team, Michael Accurso (Winemaker, EnRoute Winery) and Andrew Delos (Director of Winemaking, Far Niente Family of Wineries and Vineyards). Dinner guests will take a tour of the Russian River with the single vineyard Pinot Noirs paired with a five-course meal that highlights their individual styles, prepared by The Ritz-Carlton Bacara’s chef de cuisine.
Established in 2007 by the partners of Napa Valley's Far Niente and Nickel & Nickel wineries, EnRoute Winery was born from the passion for Pinot Noirs of the Russian River Valley. Establishing vineyards and a winery in 2007, EnRoute introduced its first wine, "Les Pommiers" Pinot Noir in 2009. Les Pommiers is named for the apple orchards that once flourished in the region and reflects a blend of vineyards primarily from the Green Valley and Sonoma Coast appellations within the overlapping Russian River Valley AVA.
The single-vineyard offerings range from intensely structured wines with bold aromas to more delicate Pinot Noirs with silky tannins and subtle fruit and earth notes. Introduced in 2013, the EnRoute Single-Vineyard Pinot Noir program currently offers four Single-Vineyard bottlings from distinct sites throughout the Russian River Valley. EnRoute also expanded its portfolio in 2013 to include EnRoute "Brumaire" Chardonnay, which is named for the morning fog that famously envelops the Russian River Valley.
