Description
Summer Dreams Twilight Pinot Noir
Red Wine | 750mL | Sonoma Coast, California, USA | 100% Pinot Noir | Annapolis Vineyard Source | French Oak Aging
Process & Profile
Summer Dreams Twilight Pinot Noir combines dark berry fruit with savory herbs, white pepper, and a distinctive coastal mineral character. Sourced from an Annapolis vineyard in California’s Sonoma Coast appellation, it reflects hillside growing conditions and well-draining Goldridge soils.
Destemmed whole berries are fermented in a combination of French oak puncheons and open-top tanks before French oak maturation. Jayson Woodbridge selects barrels to shape the finished wine, bringing together fruit concentration, structure, and texture.
Twilight offers a substantial palate with blackberry, cassis, cranberry, and red currant layered over savory oak. Its broad, supple finish and polished tannins make it a compelling choice for richer Pinot Noir pairings. Specific winemaking details and tasting characteristics can vary by vintage.
