Even though the wines are a bit pricey, accolades are in order for the Twomey pinots because they are made in a style that should be championed throughout the world of California viticulture. That is to say the Twomey Pinots, regardless of origin, are beautifully structured and will indeed improve with additional time in a proper cellar. The Sonoma Coast exhibits complex red and black fruit aromas, a whiff of spice and the warmth of oak aging without the strong smell of oak. This is a beautifully made wine that is youthful and promising.
