Fruity and smooth. Excellent drink — 2 years ago
Big flavor. Fruit (plum?) in a good way not jammy. A little earthy and spice notes. Enjoyed it with Christmas in January — 3 years ago
So when I opened the bottle 6 hours ago it exploded behind the cork with some fruit and a cedar forest. Then in the first 2 hours it disappeared. Totally dead. Now it has completely evolved. Smells of light fruit plums and cherry, dark chocolate, forest, a bit of violets. Smelling this after chewing lamb was wonderful. Palate is even better. AmaIbg balance of fruit, tannin, acid. Cassie, dried cherries, fresh wood, berries, a tiny, tiny hint of cream. Just wonderful. Worth every penny. Now almost 8 hours and it’s more herbs, sage, raspberries, thanksgiving stuffing with savory spices. — 3 years ago

2012 Twomey Soda Canyon Ranch Merlot - Review (November 2024)
The 2012 Twomey Soda Canyon Ranch Merlot remains a stellar example of Napa Valley elegance and richness. Its garnet hue hints at its depth, while the nose offers complex layers of ripe blackberry, licorice, graphite, dark chocolate, and cloves.
On the palate, a velvety texture highlights blackberry and fruit compote, evolving into a refined finish of chocolate and fine-grained tannins. Balanced and luxurious, this wine pairs beautifully with roast duck, aged Gouda, or beef Wellington. — a month ago
Cherry on the palate with appropriate dryness common on Atlas Peak. Decanted, smoothed Tannins at 5 years old. December 2022. — 2 years ago
