"Grapes for the Twomey Merlot come exclusively from the Soda Canyon Ranch in southeastern Napa Valley. This vineyard's rolling hills of volcanic soils are tightly planted with French Merlot clones selected for their low yield of small intensely flavored berries. In this mild climate tempered by cool breezes and morning fog Merlot ripens slowly and develops a rich black-fruit character and extraordinary complexity." Winemaker's Notes
