Twomey 2010 Bien Nacido Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Maria Valley)
- $54
Twomey has turned to various coastal sources for Pinot Noir for years, with mixed results. Finally, with this Bien Nacido bottling, they’ve found something worth repeating. It shows that vineyard’s balanced structure, with fine acidity and tannins framing cherry, red currant and cola flavors laced with minerality.

Twomey 2008 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- $50
A very fine Pinot Noir that shows deep, impressively ripe flavors of raspberry and cherry tart, red currant, licorice and Asian spices, with a rich coating of smoky oak. It’s entirely dry, and has a brisk scour of acidity. Seems best now and for the next few years.

Twomey 2008 Merlot (Napa Valley)
- $50
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.

Twomey 2010 Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)
- $46
All of the parts haven’t yet come together: The oak, acidity, fruit and tannins hover around, but they’re not quite completely harmonious yet. Still, it’s very rich, with a massive black-cherry core. It seems to have all the components for a little time in the cellar.

Twomey 2010 Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley)
- $25
Brilliant acidity gives this wine a clean raciness that so many Sauvignon Blancs lack. It has ripe, forward flavors of lemons, limes, apricots, peaches and honey, but despite the richness is dry and minerally.

Twomey 2011 Sauvignon Blanc (Napa County-Sonoma County)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
This is an excellent follow-up to the fine 2010, showing similar qualities. Elegantly dry and zesty in acidity, it has savory flavors of lemons, limes and peaches, with a stimulating grassiness.

Twomey 2008 Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)
- $50
This is a very nice, classy wine to drink now with a good steak or mushroom risotto or anything friendly to a dry, elegant California Pinot Noir. It’s brisk in acidity, with polished raspberry, cherry, red currant, anise and sandalwood flavors.

Twomey 2010 Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $50
This is bone dry, with lots of zesty acidity and flavors of sour cherry candy, pomegranate and persimmon, with a mushroomy earthiness. It should change over the next four years, although not necessarily improving. Try pairing it with steak, lamb or a rich cut of ahi tuna.
