Twomey Anderson Valley Pinot Noir

Winery Notes
Twomey began with a curiosity to explore beyond Cabernet. In pursuit of unique and expressive vineyards, our passion for Pinot Noir soon took over, leading us up and down the Pacific coast from Central Coast California to Oregon. Today, we produce nine small production Pinot Noir wines and an estate Sauvignon Blanc, with four wineries and tasting rooms near where we farm in Napa Valley, Russian River Valley, Anderson Valley and Willamette Valley.

Vintage Notes
The 2019 vintage began with the Anderson Valley’s signature heavy spring rains, followed by a long, warm summer that made for an idyllic growing season. Bloom and fruit set progressed under ideal conditions, leading to a bountiful and balanced crop, which was able to fully develop and ripen. A few heat events later in the season were balanced by crisp maritime winds and foggy mornings that cooled the fruit and helped to preserve freshness, aromatic intensity, and the elegant perfume we often find in the Anderson Valley.

Vineyard Notes
This vintage marks the inaugural inclusion of our Bearman Bend Vineyard in the blend. Our newest estate site in Philo, it contributes a more forward, dark berry profile and ripens slightly earlier than our Monument Tree Vineyard due to its more exposed southwestern aspect. Overall, 2019 was a classic, long Anderson Valley season, which led to an extended harvest window and produced wines with excellent fruit concentration, ripe tannins, depth and grace.
