About Oliver Lane Estate
Oliver Lane Estate is named for the road — the specific lane in the Russian River Valley that identifies the property's address. The naming is geographic in the most direct possible sense: this wine comes from this lane, and the lane's character is what the wine expresses.
The Olivet Road estate produces Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from fog-corridor Russian River Valley vineyard blocks with the lane-specific philosophy the name implies. The Oliver Lane's maritime position — within the daily Pacific fog corridor that makes the Russian River Valley one of California's most distinctive Pinot Noir and Chardonnay growing zones — creates the natural conditions for wine of aromatic precision and structural tension.
Wine Advocate has scored Oliver Lane's Pinot Noir and Chardonnay at 91–94 points.
