Nose has plum preserves, ripe raspberry, mahogany shavings, crushed dark chocolate bar, fresh sage, over-ripe cherry, mashed mulberry, dried brown bread and mild stemmy notes.

Palate has blackberry/plum jam, dried blueberry, ripe black currant, (light) baking spice, wet cedar shavings, dehydrated cranberry, dried raspberry, dry potting soil and dark chocolate (high cacao content). Tannins are mild, but subtle, finish is long and satisfying.

Decanted 3h, needs another 3-5h. Future bottles may be 2023-28 without concern. Purchased January 2006.

This Mt. Veeder vineyard was beleived a victim of the 2017 CA Wine Country fires; I'm not fully sure if the damage was limited to just buildings or vines may have also suffered losses. — 9 hours ago

Deep garnet. Blackberry, dried fig, and earthy aromas. Rich, velvety, big. Cherry, black currant, mostly, with some figginess in the background, perhaps? Excellent! — 4 days ago

Last one of these in my cellar. Not much has changed...soft, balanced, lovely. Twomey makes a very nice Merlot, year in and year out. — 4 days ago

Enjoyed at Zoom virtual vertical with Long Shadows owners and winemakers (and over 50 others). Made the wine even better. Small percentages of Cab and Petite Verdot add to the depth and complexity of the over 80% Merlot. Soft tannins, berries and hints of the oak tanks used, leave a lingering finish. This is very approachable now but will continue to improve. — 8 days ago

Just a gorgeous representation of classic Napa and the beautiful wines from the 2011 vintage, all 🌿, 🌸 and 🌎 elements all wrapped in a core of fruit, texture and brightness. Run, don't walk, if you have this 💎 in your cellar. — 17 hours ago

My first white Merlot, really nice apple character with good acid and mineral too. Great beginning of summer wine, or whatever this season is. — 8 days ago
