"A classically made expression of the variety, withCabernet Franc andPetit Verdot, this wine is soft and easygoing, rounded with a subtle grip of black plum, cherry and dark chocolate. Full bodied, it exhibits a tension of leather and black tea with dried herb on the finish, begging for pepper steak, the texture soft and silky. Drink now through 2020."

"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Twomey Cellars Merlot" from the vintage 2008 on 01.07.2014 with 91 of 100 points.
"Made with a drop of Cabernet Franc, this Merlot is rich, smooth and bone dry. With modest alcohol, it brims with flavors of black and red currant, licorice, anise and white pepper, as well as a subtle touch of sweet, smoky new oak. The grapes come from the cool Soda Canyon area of Napa Valley, at the base of Atlas Peak."

"Nice and dry, with a good bite of firm tannins, but it's a little flat in the flavor profile. Shows decent cherry, berry, herb and cedar flavors that could be more vibrant and complex. But it is elegantly structured."

"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Twomey Cellars Merlot" from the vintage 2003 on 01.01.2007 with 86 of 100 points.
"Lots to like in this four-year-old Merlot. It's fully dry and not too fruity, with rich blackberry, sage, anise and oak flavors that are complex and long. On the minus side, the wine is too soft, lacking the vital acidity and tannins needed for structure."
