Im afraid it was past its prime. Cherry was there but tight in the mouth. Cheers to earlier years.

Crisp with cherry notes and still holding well. There was a mineral background that did not over power but added complexity and balance. Spice notes too. Loved it!

Mellow not overpowering fruit. Acidic. Tannins are mellowed. Maybe couldn’t age much longer. Good wine but not terribly distinctive in character.

Great wine, and wish I'd paid more attention while drinking it (was watching the NBA finals). Great fruit and balance. This wine was included in a Twomey club shipment this year; we loved the 2010 (haven't tried the '11-13 yet), so our one an only bottle from this vintage. If you have it, no need to wait any longer.

Red cherry filled nose. Feels light and lifted. Full of sweet red berry fruit on the entry, a bit of spicy and the lightest touch of creamy oak. Lovely texture with the lightest grip. Lovely balance of freshness and bright fruit.

Silver Oak has added the Twomey wines to their line up with success. This is a nicely balanced Pinot that displays the same quality and character of the mid level Silver Oak Cabs. The fruit is not over powering and it has a bit more structure than other Pinots you may get at this price.

Cinnamon and strawberry nose. Excellent palate, slightly dry with light oak and pleasant fruit flavors.

4th Saturday Group brown bagger (Rich & Dana's) : Ruby color- the same as the previous three wines. Cherry and floral aromas dominate the bouquet. Lovely red fruit and cherry tones, with soft spice undertones on the palate. The biggest of the four wines, but still elegant and balanced.
