The Wine Harlots tasted our 2008 Generations Pinot Noir and had some great quotes – even a food pairing!

Check out the WineHarlots.com.

First, they made it clear this is one unique Pinot Noir:

This ain’t your daddy’s pinot noir.  And that’s a good thing.  For under a Jackson (a Hamilton plus a Lincoln, if you want to be precise) you can get a bottle of unpretentious deliciousness.

I love ‘deliciousness‘ as a wine descriptor – sounds like me at home describing the wine de jour!  But also, it illustrates that sometimes we don’t have to get super detailed with our wine jargon – if it’s good, it’s good!

Like most of our wines, our Pinot Noir is reasonably priced so it can be enjoyed (without pretentiousness) on a regular basis: $16.00 a bottle or $12.80 for Wine Clubbers.

Randy Watson aka The Wine Whore unscrewed our 2008 Generations Pinot Noir and quickly discovered that it fit right into our ’signature’ wine style.

Randy has previously tasted our 2008 Generations Viognier and our 2007 Generations Petit Verdot Petite Sirah and the Pinot Noir followed suit.

Randy’s thoughts:

They sorta have a signature taste that fits perfectly to my palate. All of the bottles from LangeTwins that I have tried so far, have been smooth with just the right amount of alcohol, fruit, and tannins. Enough to be bold without crossing the line of being obnoxiously out of balance. For their reasonable prices, I would say that LangeTwins makes some great wine!

So, what’s our signature wine style?  In a nutshell, it’s what we preach every day:

1. No sugar juice.  We don’t leave residual sugar on our wines…we like to taste the varietal!
2. No oak bombs.  Again, we use oak aging to add complexity, not to mask!
3. Balance is everything.  And it takes good fruit and good winemakers to make balanced wines!

Grab a bottle of our 08 Pinot Noir for just $16.00 at our online store.

Wine Club Members get it for $12.80!
