Twomey 2021 Pinot Noir

Discover the enchanting world of Oregon’s famed Willamette Valley with the Twomey 2021 Pinot Noir, a masterpiece of winemaking that captures the spirit and terroir of Dundee Hills. This Pinot Noir, with its medium-high acidity, medium body, and subtle tannins, is a celebration of balance and finesse. The nose is a bouquet of plum, black cherry, blueberry, and cranberry, beautifully accented with hints of vanilla and spice, inviting you to delve deeper into its complexity. The palate is equally compelling, offering a tapestry of cherry, blackberry, and dark fruits, intertwined with chocolate, vanilla, and a whisper of herbs, creating a harmonious blend of flavors that are both rich and refreshing.

Personal Insight: Twomey 2021 Pinot Noir

My journey with Twomey began with a memorable visit to the Silver Oak winery in Napa, where I discovered their exceptional Pinot Noir offerings. Having been a long-time admirer of Silver Oak’s wines, my curiosity led me to explore Twomey’s Pinot Noirs, and the 2021 Dundee Hills edition has since become a standout favorite. Its vibrant freshness and fruity palate resonate deeply with my preferences, reaffirming my affection for Twomey’s craftsmanship. The anticipation of a trip to Willamette Valley in April further piqued my interest, and this Dundee Hills Pinot Noir, with its delightful expression, has only heightened my excitement for the visit.

Closing Notes:

The Twomey 2021 Dundee Hills Pinot Noir is a testament to the versatility and allure of Pinot Noir, seamlessly pairing with a range of dishes from an oven-roasted chicken and avocado salad to lean beef and fatty fish. Its ability to complement my signature smoked salmon dish underscores its status as a potential go-to wine for special occasions, captivating with its blend of acidity, body, and subtlety. As I continue to explore the vast world of wines, this Pinot Noir stands as a beacon of quality, inviting others to experience its exceptional character and the profound joy of pairing it with both culinary delights and cherished moments.
