2004 Lynmar Pinot Noir Russian River Valley
UNITED STATES / CALIFORNIA / SONOMA
International Wine Cellar | Rating: 88
($36) Medium bright red.Raspberry, smoked meat, leather and flowers on the nose.Round and juicy, with slightly tart acids and a bitter pomegranate character giving the cherry fruit a refreshing quality. A bit pinched but offers good intensity and verve. Finishes with dusty tannins.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: January/February 2007Jancis Robinson | Rating: 17
Dark crimson. Very low key nose and much more prominent acidity than most of these wines. Very lively and racy with a future. Hint of coffee on the finish. Relatively good value.Author: Jancis Robinson
The Fritz family founded Lynmar Winery in 1990 to produce world-class wines reflecting the character of the estate Quail Hill Vineyard and the Russian River Valley appellation. Quail Hill is a unique site in the region and is the exclusive source for the Reserve and Estate wines, as well as the foundation for the appellation-designated wines. The vineyard possesses superb qualities for growing world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The combination of the vineyard's soil composition, long growing season, dramatic elevation changes, and clone and rootstock selections make it a prime location for growing these varieties.
The character of the estate vineyard guides the signature Lynmar style for all of the wines; red wines with rich, full, deep, ripe berry flavors with natural acids and soft tannins, and white wines with balance, composition, and expressiveness.
