As readers of this blog know, I am not the world's biggest fan of merlot. However, there are two exceptions: Northstar and Twomey.
I first tried Twomey Merlot when we were in Napa a few years back for the Silver Oak Cabernet release party. Twomey is a Silver Oak label.
This is really a great wine. I rarely find it on wine lists but happened upon it today at Perry's Steakhouse in Dallas. My dad - the merlot fan - really loved it.
If you like merlot, you will LOVE this wine. If you think you're not a merlot drinker but love red wine, give this a try. I bet you'll like it.
Tasting notes:
Grapes for our Twomey Merlot come exclusively from our Soda Canyon Ranch in southeastern Napa Valley. This vineyard’s rolling hills of volcanic soils are tightly planted with French Merlot clones, selected for their low yield of small, intensely flavored berries. In this mild climate, tempered by cool breezes and morning fog, Merlot ripens slowly and develops a rich black-fruit character and extraordinary complexity.
Price: $50
