Heavier than a typical Pinot noir. More complex in flavor and notes of preserves and jam. Very smooth and clean after taste. Not very dry or sweet.

I recently had a 2015, thought it needed more time so I searched for an older vintage and found a 2012, their debut vintage of Two Creeks Pinot Noir. A blend from 2 different Vineyards (43% Apple Barn & 57% Annahala) and aged for 10 months in French oak (38% new). Aromas red and dark berry fruits with complex, soft earthy spice notes. On the palate juicy cherry and strawberry flavors, rich and complex with a great mouthfeel, integrated spice and oak. Smooth tannins with good balance with acidity on a lingering finish, an outstanding wine that I would have to say is perfect now!

I wish I have waited couple more years before opening it because I feel like it's not fully age for a Pinot noir. Blueberry note, smooth. Overall great wine but have not reached its full potential.

Super smooth, sweet cherry start, tart raspberry finish. Easy drinking for all

30 minutes in the glass before tasting. Medium body, long finish. As it sits the spice becomes more pronounced. Overall well made, balanced Pinot noir with enough acidity and flavor to pair with rich food. Paired with potato chowder with aged cheddar and Black Forest rye bread

Strawberry, cherry and raspberry with French Oak. Sophisticated and smooth.

A luscious full bodies Pinot. might not satisfy the expected taste of a Pinot but if you are open - it can expand the horizon for what a Pinot is
