Fodor's Expert Review Lynmar Estate
Elegant and balanced describe Lynmar's landscaping and contemporary architecture, but the terms also apply to the wine-making philosophy. Expect handcrafted Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs with long, luxurious finishes, especially on the Pinots. The attention to refinement and detail extends to the tasting spaces, where well-informed pourers serve patrons enjoying garden and vineyard views. The Quail Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir, a blend of some or all of the 15 Pinot Noir clones grown in the vineyard just outside, consistently performs well. Also exceptional are La Sereinité Chardonnay and the Five Sisters, Anisya's Blend, and Lynn's Blend Pinot Noirs. Most wines can be bought only by belonging to the allocation list or at the winery. Tastings are by appointment only.
