Winemaker Notes

The 2010 Merlot is a vivacious wine that displays ideal ripeness from a uniquely cool California vintage. It has a dark garnet color and a complex nose of cherry liqueur, dark chocolate, pipe tobacco, lavender, cloves and hazelnut. On the palate, it has a velvety mouthfeel, a full body, beautiful acid balance and a long, juicy finish. Given proper cellaring, this wine should give drinking pleasure through 2027.

Professional Ratings

  • 91
    Score a big success for Twomey in putting this Merlot together, this one has taken the wine up a notch from its previous efforts, which were already quite fine. Deep ruby color; bold ripe currants aromas with a fine hit of sweet oak, medium bodied, focused, and pretty powerful on the palate, fine smooth textures, with sweet tannins; dry, medium acidity, well balanced; rich and enticing black fruit flavors, with a nice measure of sweet oak, excellent persistence and concentration; medium finish, long and full in the aftertaste.

As Napa Valley’s third most planted grape, Napa Valley Merlot shows time and time again its potential to produce exceptional results. Napa’s vaunted combination of climate, soil and the human factor of winemaking expertise lead to big, ripe, cellar-worthy and world-class versions.

Whether made by itself in single varietal bottlings or as an important role in Bordeaux Blends, Merlot continues a prominent role in this famous region. While Cabernet typically takes the lead role, Merlot’s contribution—even at 10% to 20% or so—is significant indeed. Often described as “the flesh on Cabernet’s bones,” Merlot lends a soft, round and plush character that beautifully complements Cabernet’s linear, full-throttle structure. Its flavors of plums plus subtle herbs and mint also dovetail nicely with Cabernet’s blackberry and cassis.
