Winemaker’s Tasting Notes
This wine is an extraordinary example of the wines produced in this wild, wind-swept, extremely cool appellation. It has a vibrant, light ruby color and a nose of dried rose petals, strawberry/raspberry puree, and a hint of cardamom. On the palate the structure is elegant, with lively well-balanced acidity that builds to a nuanced crescendo of crème brulee, mocha and chocolate-covered cherries. It has an extremely long finish of fine grained tannins and fresh rose petals.

Appellation: Anderson Valley
Vintage: 2007
Winemaker’s Tasting Notes
This wine displays lovely elements of both fruit and earth, the yin and yang that make this varietal so compelling. The wine displays a deep ruby color and an expressive nose of caramelized cherries, allspice, truffles and brown sugar. It has a lively attack of fresh red rose petals and rhubarb with an intoxicating white truffle richness. It is rich but lively on the palate, with a fine texture supporting an explosion of red forest fruits giving way to a long finish of earth and mineral complexities.

Appellation: Santa Barbara County
Vintage: 2007
Winemaker’s Tasting Notes
The 2007 Twomey Santa Barbara Pinot Noir is a subtle, complex wine that reflects the cool maritime influence and benchland sandy-clay loam soils infused with decomposed shale of the Bien Nacido Vineyard. It has a red rose petal color and an ethereal nose of Bing cherries, rose water, Turkish Delight and wild mushrooms. On the palate, the wine starts with a burst of tart red berries and builds to reveal rose petal and cranberry characteristics. It has a seamless structure and very fine tannins on the long finish.
