Our 2008 Twomey Single Vineyard Merlot is a luscious wine of moderate alcohol that achieves a beautiful balance between ripeness andfreshness. It has a garnet color with purple edges and an enticing nose ofperfectly ripe, fresh black cherries, violets, nutmeg and dark chocolate. Ithas a bright attached and a satiny mouth-feel. The fresh cherry fruit returns on the palate and the wine is full bodied without being cloying. The finishis vibrant with notes of dark chocolate andenough tannic grip to ensure good cellaring. This beautiful Merlot will continue to give drinking pleasure through 2023, with proper cellaring.
