Winemaker Tasting Notes

The 2016 Two Barns Vineyard Pinot Noir begins with striking aromatics of roasted hazelnuts, candied orange rind and faint hints of baking spices. On the palate, layers of concentrated red cherries and raspberries are framed by a seamlessly integrated oak profile that provides an elegant richness to the mid-palate. With a long lasting finish, this wine is silky-smooth and showcases supple tannins and excellent structure.
