2020 Twin Creeks Pinot Noir
The Pinot Noir we call “Twin Creeks” comes from small vineyards located just a stone’s throw from us. We have had a close relationship with the vineyard owners since their first crop in 2001, and because we participate in the management of these parcels, we consider them to be “Estate” grapes and have trademarked the name “Twin Creeks.” Our winemaking team crafts each vintage of this wine by tasting and evaluating dozens of barrels in order to assemble a blend worthy of distinction.
The 2020 Twin Creeks opens with aromas and flavors of blackberries and blueberries and hints of earth and oak. The finish is savory and well-balanced, with just enough tannins to suggest a long aging potential. Perhaps you could put away a few bottles to enjoy over the next 4-6 years. Right now it might go well with a spicy pasta carbonara, with grilled vegetables, and especially roasted duck with pears and peppercorns.
