Wine Description
No wine is more reflective of its origins than Pinot Noir. Our take on this noble varietal exemplifies the best of Russian River Pinot Noirs with its delicacy, charisma and depth.
The 2006 Twomey Russian River Pinot Noir is a beautifully balanced wine that expresses great elegance and depth. It displays a red sapphire color and aromas of dried rose petal, strawberry jam, potpourri and cinnamon. The initial impression on the palate is of fresh strawberry and cherry, followed by a generous fullness, good acid balance and a long finish of dried herbs.
Twomey Pinot Noir originates in the heart of the Russian River Valley, legendary for its extraordinary Pinot Noir. Our nine-acre West Pin vineyard is the ideal site for this temperamental grape, with a climate that's cool enough to preserve its delicate character but warm enough to ripen the fruit consistently each year. The vineyard is planted with a mix of Dijon, Pommard and Martini clones, with each contributing different characteristics to the final blend.
