100 Wine Blogs, 100 Days Blog 58 Twomey Cellars


Blog 58 Twomey Cellars

Twomey is an exceptionally handcrafted wine from the family of Silver Oak Cellars. While we were tasting at Silver Oak, we received a private tour through their time capsule which contained pictures of Silver Oak from the beginning of their existence all the way to where they are now. They have pictures of their logo concept, the fire, and their new facilities. Once we finished the time capsule tour, they let us taste some of their sister property wines.

Twomey Cellars was founded in 1999 by Ray Duncan and Justin Meyer. Twomey Cellars produces Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. We were able to taste the 2005 Twomey Merlot. The Twomey Merlot contains 96% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc. A deep garnet color with a nose of black cherry, blackberry, essence, wild game and freshly ground black pepper. The Merlot is a full-bodied red with velvety fine-grained tannins and a long finish. One of my favorite Merlot’s to date. Handcrafted with perfection.

Tell me what you think! I want to hear from you! Give me your thoughts!
Bon Vin!
