2019 Twomey Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

Region: Russian River Valley, Sonoma, California

Blend: 100% Pinot Noir

Winemaking & aging process 

The 2019 growing season began with a strong, wet weather pattern that recharged the soil moisture profile and set the vines up for success. The hydrated soil delayed bud break slightly, but the vines were ready to push healthy, strong canopies throughout the relatively mild spring and summer months. Extended periods of warm, beautiful weather in the summer and fall helped the vines transition from building canopy architecture to ripening fruit. This long, slow ripening period was ideal for our Russian Valley River Pinot Noir vineyards because the cool, foggy sites had time to develop and mature while the warmer sites did not lose their freshness and vibrancy. Fall temperatures were warm and consistent, allowing for excellent, even ripening and leading to wines that are forward, juicy and elegant. The warmer Pinot vineyards began trickling in at the beginning of September, and the fruit was picked from September 8 to 25. 

It was aged in barrel (100% French oak, 26% new) for 10 months and on primary lees for 7 months.

Tasting notes

Ruby in appearance, this wine displays aromas of red and black cherry, rose, and cedar.

The palate is broad, lush, and juicy upon entry with silky, supporting tannins on the mid-palate. Its mouthfeel is rich, with fine tannins. The finish is spicy and savory.
