Lynmar Pinot Noir RRV Quail Hill Estate 2013

The 2013 Quail Hill is an absolute thrill-ride. This rich, luscious beauty offers up sumptuous aromas of pomegranate, plums, and intense blackberries. The voluptuous mouthfeel shows fantastic balance and supports the wave after wave of dark fruit, exotic spice, and nuanced minerality. A delightfully finessed Pinot to savor now, it will also continue to evolve well in your cellar for 5+ years.

Lynmar Estate Winery

Lynn Fritz first purchased Quail Hill Ranch and Vineyards in 1980, drawn to the maritime climate and the authenticity of the rolling Russian River vineyards. The property has some of the oldest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines planted in the Russian River Valley. The grapes from these early vines were bought by Tony Soter and Merry Edwards to make wines considered to be some of the best in the Russian River Valley. Lynmar began a small winemaking activity in the early 1990s and produced small amounts of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, which were extremely well received. Over the next 35 years, Lynn purchased several contiguous properties, which have been amalgamated into a single stunning estate bordered by the Laguna de Santa Rosa watershed.
