Our Story
At Twomey, we combine our winemaking experience with a spirit of innovation, enabling us to work with varietals other than Cabernet Sauvignon. After decades of making Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon, we took our experience and resources and poured them into making handcrafted Merlot, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc. In 1999, we purchased our Soda Canyon Ranch vineyard in Napa Valley. Winemaker Daniel Baron saw great potential in the Merlot clones from this vineyard and made our first Merlot vintage the very same year. In 2000, we had the opportunity to secure a beautiful piece of land in the heart of the Russian River Valley, a perfect site for growing Pinot Noir. We now make four appellation Pinot Noirs from some of the best vineyards in California. Lastly, our Sauvignon Blanc, from our Calistoga vineyard, was born out of our wives’ loving demand for a refreshing white wine.
Twomey was founded with the same philosophy that has guided Silver Oak since 1972: make food-friendly wines that are deliciously drinkable upon release. With two wineries, one in Calistoga devoted to Merlot and one in Russian River designed for Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc, we are able to work small, focus on quality and carry out our mission of making handcrafted wines.
