Why You'll Love It
An excellent Oregon Pinot Noir that favours detail and energy over weight. Five vineyard sites bring layers of red fruit, rose petals and earthy spice, with beautifully fine tannins and a long, refreshing finish. Superb with duck, salmon or mushroom risotto.
About The Producer
Twill Cellars is a small, thoughtful Willamette Valley project founded by growers Molly and Darrel Roby alongside winemaker Chris Dickson. The Robys began by planting their own vineyard in 2000, while Chris developed his craft through work with respected estates in Oregon, Washington, New Zealand, South Africa and Germany. Rather than imposing a heavy house style, the team selects sustainably managed, dry-farmed sites and treats each vineyard and vintage individually. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah are its principal varieties. Spontaneous fermentation, patient maturation and restrained use of new oak help preserve fine texture, natural acidity and the character of Oregon's diverse volcanic and sedimentary soils. The Willamette Valley Pinot Noir brings fruit from five appellations into a beautifully integrated picture of the region.
Winemaking Information
The 2022 Twill Cellars Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is sourced from five dry-farmed vineyards spanning the Chehalem Mountains, Tualatin Hills, Dundee Hills, Van Duzer Corridor and Eola-Amity Hills. Fruit was completely destemmed and underwent spontaneous fermentation in small lots over three to four weeks. The wine matured for eleven months in 71% neutral oak, 20% new oak and 9% concrete egg, before bottling unfined and unfiltered. The estate's 2022 technical sheet confirms 12.8% ABV and approximately 852 cases produced. Farming varies by vineyard, so no blanket organic certification is asserted.
