Tasting notes

Our 2011 Two Sisters Pinot Noir is a beautiful expression of this cool vintage. In the glass, dark and concentrated uit aromas give way to a rich and silky palate loaded with ripe berry uit, blackberry jam, and subtle coee notes. It silky tannins leave you with mouth-coating flavors and its balanced acidity gives it excellent potential for aging.

Winemaking

Each year we harvest our grapes based on the ripeness of the tannins. For Pinot Noir this usually occurs between 24.5-27.0 Brix. e uit was hand-picked in the cool morning hours to preserve the aromatics. e clusters were then de-stemmed with no crushing and the must was cold-soaked in open-top fermenters for four days prior to inoculation. Each tank was manually punched down daily for more extraction. Upon completion of primary fermentation and maceration, the wine was transferred to tank for settling. Next, individual lots were racked into 100% new French oak barrels and aged for 18 months prior to bottling.
