Winemaker Andrew Delos pulls from three sustainably-farmed estate sites — Northern Spy, Amber Ridge, and Manzana Hill — all in the cool Green Valley and upper Middle Reach corridors, where Pacific fog hangs long enough to keep ripening slow and acidity intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 scores 93 points from both Wine Enthusiast and James Suckling. On the nose: Bing cherry, muddled blackberry, and candied orange peel framed by baking spice and Oolong tea. The palate is generous but controlled — soft dark berry with cedar, shiitake, and roses drifting through the finish. Silky tannins, true Russian River acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePAIRINGS :\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eDuck confit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003edark cherry echoes the fruit; acidity cuts through the fat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eKing salmon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRRV Pinot and Pacific salmon — the classic match\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eMushroom risotto\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eearthy depth mirrors the wine's shiitake and forest floor notes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Empire Merchants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":29907301204040,"sku":"6193","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0232\/3203\/products\/image_dbe29482-2114-45f4-90d6-2d098d256456.jpg?v=1624317119","url":"https:\/\/eastsidecellars.com\/products\/enroute-pinot-noir-les-pommiers","provider":"Eastside Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
