Lange Twins Pinot Noir
| Description: | Alcohol %14.2. After crafting Pinot Noir for five vintages from the same vineyard, we have found the best winemaking technique is handling the wine with minimal intrusions to achieve balance. The winegrapes cold soak for a few days and then go through native fermentation, native-malolactic fermentation, and barrel aging for 8 months in neutral French Burgundy oak barrels. This creates a well-rounded, soft featured wine with aromas and flavors of both fresh and dried cherry that blend nicely with floral elements. Certified Lodi Rules for Sustainable Winegrowing. Vineyard Notes. Located in the Clarksburg Appellation below sea level, our Pinot Noir vineyards nutrients and water levels are continuously monitored to ensure the winegrapes develop strong flavors during the growing season. Together with cool breezes from San Francisco Bay that help preserve acidity in the ripening fruit, we are able to grow a balanced winegrape. Production Notes. With above average winter rains, we began the 2016 growing season with enough moisture in the soil profile to delay the start of irrigation. This allowed the vines to grow at their own pace until the crucial time when we began spoon feeding water to control vigor. Warm daytime temperatures and cool nights resulted in all varietals ripening quickly in the first half of the season, but as we came closer to fall, the late ripening varietals took their time reaching maturity. What developed was a long harvest, beginning at the end of July and lasting until the end of October, just before the first major fall rainstorm; lucky for us 99% of our vineyards were harvested. The outcome is a season with average to above-average yields and winemakers please with the quality. Food Pairing Notes.

The prototype wine is red Burgundy from France but Oregon, California, New Zealand, and parts of Australia also produce good Pinot Noir. The wine is lighter in color than Cabernet or Merlot with relatively high alcohol, medium-to-high acidity, and medium-to-low tannin. Its flavors and aromas can be very fruity or earthy and woodsy, depending on how it is grown. It is rarely blended with other grapes. |
