Our 2003 Quail Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir is recommended as a pairing with a slow-cooked rack of lamb. The author says, " Lynmar's 2003 Quail Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir is a fine example of the variety's potential in Russian River. The wine displays crisp acidity, depth without weight and an ephemeral bouquet that is an ideal complement to both the texture and flavor of the lamb." Click here to read the full story.

September 13, 2005, Wine Review Online:
Ask any Pinot lover where the best California Pinot Noir is made and the Russian River Valley will be at the top of the list. Compared with Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir has a short track record in California. Not long ago when the call went out for an American Pinot Noir, Oregon got the nod. Today, Pinot lovers turn to the Russian River Valley and its sub region Green Valley for exciting, juicy wines.
