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. — 20 days 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

9.1

A bottling from Hall’s appellation series, the expressive nose showcases black currant, ripe plum, mocha, fall foliage, and crushed rocks. Medium to full, the palate is concentrated and well balanced. Plush tannins.
Fruits were sourced from the soda canyon area (roughly between Stags Leap and Atlas Peak). 26 months in French oak barrel, 65% new.
I think I like the North End bottling a bit more. — 2 years ago
