Winemaker Notes

The 2012 Twomey Bien Nacido Vineyard Pinot Noir is a layered, harmonious wine that expresses the various exposures and soils of this amazing vineyard site. It has a very dark, cherry-red color and a nose of black plum, black cherry, blond tobacco and peppermint. The entry is remarkably complex with balanced notes of fruit and roasted grains. It is full bodied, yet delicate, and has an extremely long finish with fine grained tannins. Given proper cellaring, this wine will give drinking pleasure through 2027.

    Take a walk on the wild side and you get this- a powerful, yet clearly defined Pinot Noir, the 2012 Twomey Bien Nacido is truly impressive. Deep ruby color; bold ripe strawberries and savory herbs in the aromas, medium bodied, focused, and pretty powerful on the palate, fine smooth textures, with sweet tannins; dry, medium acidity, well balanced; demonstrative red and black fruit flavors, with a nice measure of savor and sweet oak, excellent persistence and concentration; medium finish, long and full in the aftertaste. I am now looking in my rear view mirror for that trailer with platters of smoked meat on it, doesn't that sound good? (Tasted: June 10, 2015, San Francisco, CA)

Santa Maria Valley lies mainly in northern Santa Barbara County, with a small portion of it overlapping southern San Luis Obispo County. It is close to the Pacific, and runs east-west, which means warmer air in the eastern end draws cool air off the ocean in the west, and brings it through the valley. This effect, combined with abundant sunshine, lengthens the growing season. The longer growing season leads to long hang time, which promotes both ripeness and optimal acidity levels in grape berries. As early as the 1970’s, Santa Maria Valley was recognized as being a superior source of wine grapes, certainly including Chardonnay and Syrah. But arguably the top variety here is Pinot Noir.

Originally a domain primarily of growers, including the Miller Family of the justifiably famous Bien Nacido Vineyard, this AVA is now home to over 30 wineries. Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir consistently offers full flavors of cherry, strawberry and raspberry, often accompanied by notes of spice, cola, vanilla and earth. They show impressive balance and elegance, as well as great versatility with food.
