Winemaker Notes

From a memorable vintage, the 2022 Twomey Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is a harmonious wine with great balance and bright acidity.

Tasting Notes

The 2022 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir leads with classic notes of cherry and cola with grapefruit and cardamom. Broad and generous, and the layered tannin structure of the mid-palate leads to a lively, bright finish.

Vintage Description

The 2022 season began with a welcomed increase in winter rains that refilled the groundwater reserves and set the grapevines up for producing healthy, strong canopies. Timely precipitation continued throughout spring and helped reinforce a balanced canopy architecture. Scattered warm days juxtaposed the long frost season, and inclement weather during flowering led to heterogeneous fruit set in certain areas. Yield was therefore slightly lower than typical with millerandage—tiny berries mixed in with larger ones—showing up in several areas, especially in some of the heritage selections of Pinot Noir. This type of cluster morphology results in beautiful tannin balance and elegant wines—two great descriptors for 2022.

Warmer weather built over the summer months, and the pace of ripening accelerated. With strong canopies and warm weather, ripening was quite even, and great flavor was apparent early on. Harvest began early on August 22 and wrapped up on September 9. This compressed window was a result of a strong Labor Day heat dome, and it was critical to harvest quickly to preserve freshness. September 9 is the earliest we have finished harvest for Russian River Valley, and there is a beautiful energy and freshness in the wine as a result.
