 Lynn
Fritz, an expert in global logistics and humanitarian relief
efforts, and family purchased the estate Quail
Hill Vineyard in 1980 and, in 1990, founded Lynmar Winery
to produce world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay reflecting
the character of the Russian River Valley appellation, and terroir
of Quail Hill Vineyard. Our first commercial wines were released
in 1996 with the 1994 vintages of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Our 47-acre Quail Hill Vineyard estate has long been recognized
as a stellar vineyard in the region, and has superb qualities
for growing world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Once a source
for some of the top Pinot Noir and Chardonnay producers in the
region, today, the estate is the exclusive source for our Lynmar
Reserve and Estate wines, as well as
the foundation of our appellation-designated wines.
Balance, both in the vineyard and winemaking, governs the Lynmar
philosophy. Led by winemaker Hugh
Chappelle, our winemaking team starts in the vineyard; managing
vine-by-vine to optimize even fruit ripening, quality and balance.
In the winery, Hugh prefers to let Mother Nature do the work.
He handles the wine as little as possible and, again, strives
to achieve balanced tannins, fruit qualities and natural acidity.
The result is our characteristic Lynmar style; wines with character,
full berry flavors and balanced qualities reflecting our
estate Quail
Hill Vineyard. |
