| Description: | 96 Wi / 96 JS / 96 Jd / 96 De. A new project from Jayson Woodbridge of Hundred Acre. Medium ruby-purple in color, the 2021 Twilight Pinot Noir comes bounding out with juicy blackberries, wild blueberries, and licorice leading to an undercurrent of candied violets, tilled black loam, and Darjeeling tea. The full-bodied palate is rich and seductive, with a velvety texture and seamless freshness, finishing long and spicy.--Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent. Extremely aromatic with a cherry and floral character. Umami. Minerally. Flavorful and racy. White pepper. Cloves. From the owner of Napa's Hundred Acre winery. Drink or hold.-James Suckling. The 2021 Pinot Noir Twilight has a darker edge in its blackberry and darker fruits as well as notes of black tea, peppery herbs, and a kiss of earthy minerality. Medium-bodied on the palate, with good acidity and a focusing spine of both acidity and tannins, this beauty will benefit from a year or two and shine through 2031.-Jeb Dunnuck. The most brooding and dark of the Summer Dreams Pinot Noirs, with plenty of racy acid to balance the density of ripe, succulent black cherry and black plum fruit. It's got the salty sea-spray notes of a dark, misty fog rolling into the Sonoma Coast from the Pacific Ocean, and that minerality builds on the palate with an intense soy-like savouriness. The full-bodied finish is equally saline and savoury, and winemaker Jayson Woodbridge tells me it's a wine to enjoy with great Japanese food. I'd settle for miso-marinated black cod – 100% Pinot Noir from West Sonoma Coast, Annapolis, and Fort Ross-Seaview AVAs. Whole berries are fermented in open-top tanks and puncheons with a mix of Demptos and Taransaud barrels. Bottled unfined.--Jonathon Cristaldi, Decanter |
