December 3, 2022 - Im afraid it was past its prime. Cherry was there but tight in the mouth. Cheers to earlier years.

April 14, 2014 - 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.

December 20, 2012 - 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.

June 9, 2012 - Cinnamon and strawberry nose. Excellent palate, slightly dry with light oak and pleasant fruit flavors.
