Twomey 2017 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

Founded in 1999 by the Duncan family of Silver Oak, Twomey began as a new family venture to expand beyond Cabernet Sauvignon and vinify other grape varieties from only the most compelling vineyards. More than 20 years later, Twomey wines are an amalgam of both time and terroir, hailing from renowned cool climate vineyards that span the coast, from Central California’s Santa Maria Valley to Oregon’s Willamette Valley.

TASTING NOTES:

Black-red with a lighter edge. Complex yet delicate nose of white pepper, fig reduction, black raspberry, cardamom and prosciutto. The palate is layered and packed with fruit. Round with powdery tannins that are both balanced and concentrated. Dense tannins carry the layered fruit for a lasting finish.

Pairs well with savory duck cassoulet.
