Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, February 2005

Notes of pepper, dried herbs, damp earth, sweet cherry liqueur, and chocolate-infused coffee jump from the glass of the 2003 Merlot (96% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc). Production was less than in 2002, with 9,315 cases made. It is a big, dense, full-throttle Merlot that should age nicely for 10-15 years. This is a top-flight single-vineyard wine aged completely in French oak, which is in total contrast to the wines made at Silver Oak.

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, February 2007

Red-ruby. Dark plum, redcurrant, flowers and spices on the nose. Rich, plump and ripe but dry and serious, with complex flavors of plum, redcurrant, tobacco, leather and mocha. Finishes with lush, ripe tannins and a rather sophisticated texture.Lacks only the length for an outstanding rating.

About Winery

Ray Duncan and his four sons founded Twomey Cellars in 1999 with the same philosophy that Ray and Justin Meyer established for  Silver Oak: create food-friendly wine that is deliciously drinkable upon release. With Twomey, however, they apply that philosophy to varietals other than Cabernet Sauvignon, the flagship of Silver Oak. They combine winemaking experience with a spirit of innovation, enabling them to work with different varietals, winemaking techniques and some of the best vineyard sites in California.
