Twomey Anderson Valley Pinot Noir 2021
Twomey Anderson Valley Pinot Noir 2021 is a 14.2% ABV 100% Pinot Noir in a 750mL bottle from Twomey's own Anderson Valley estates — Bearwallow and Monument Tree, in the cool northern reaches of Mendocino County. It's the cooler-climate sibling of Twomey's Russian River bottling: more lifted, more floral, built on estate fruit the family farms itself. Rated 93 points by James Suckling and 92 by Decanter.

Anderson Valley's Cool-Climate Lift

Twomey farms two estates there, Bearwallow and Monument Tree, and the 2021 shows what the appellation does best: wild strawberry, rose, and cedar with supple tannins and real lift. The critics agreed: 93 from James Suckling, 92 from Decanter. See more from Twomey Cellars or browse Del Mesa's Pinot Noir collection.
