Twisted Oak Asterisk Percent Pound Ampersand At Exclamation Calaveras County 2005United States > California > Calaveras County Silver Medal, 2008 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition "They may call this "Potty-Mouth Red", but it's really another beauty of a wine made from Calaveras County fruit. This soft Rhone-style red blend contains grenache, syrah, and mourvedre. Blueberries, black plum and alluring floral aromas are followed by black and blue fruit flavors that are bright and will pair well with... |

Twisted Oak Calaveras County 2005United States > California > Calaveras County “The viognier was much more prominent on the second night, with aromas of gardenia and jasmine dominant, rather than berries and spice. These syrah aspects were there, too, but the impression you had now was one of a spring garden, not a berry patch. The berries had become more distinctively huckleberry at the core, with the spice really coming through as you headed towards the finish line.... |

Twisted Oak Grenache Calaveras County 2005United States > California > Calaveras County Silver Medal, 2008 Riverside International Wine Competition! Silver Medal, 2007 California State Fair You can see that Fermento was not his usual wordy self in his production notes, so it looks like we’re going to have to pad out these tasting notes to fill the space. So, what we’re going to have to do is add some more words - when you read the tasting notes, simply... |

Twisted Oak Murgatroyd Calaveras County 2004United States > California > Calaveras County With a name like “Murgatroyd” you might expect this wine to smell and taste like a pink mountain lion. While this wine is as dry and intense as a night in the desert, and its spice and herbal aromas might be the result of a romp in the sagebrush, nothing could be further from the truth. Deep brick red color, bright aromas of plum and blueberry, and full fruit flavors of raspberries, currants... |

Twisted Oak Syrah / Shiraz Calaveras County Tanner Vineyard 2004United States > California > Calaveras County At Twisted Oak, we are comfortable enough with our own Metrosexuality to not miss the chance to jump onto the latest trend. In this case, that Splendiferous display of Freeativity known as "making up new words." It is no longer sufficient to say, for example, something is "stupid". Instead, now we must say that it "displays excessive Bozosity ." We could probably think of a Gazillion existing... |

Twisted Oak Grenache Calaveras County Silvaspoons Vineyard 2006United States > California > Calaveras County Here is a little wine you'll want to stand back and take a long look at - because if you get any closer you'll singe the hair out of the inside of your nose. Crisp aromas of fetid swamp clash mightily with rotting wood and a playful kerosene note. It has a lively acidity that is best paired with the calcium deposits in your bathtub. A long satisfying finish in the form of chemical burns down... |

Twisted Oak Sierra Foothills 2005United States > California > Sierra Foothills "This wine is a Hermitage-style blend of Roussanne and Marsanne that represents stunning value. I dare you to try to find a Hermitage from the Rhone that delivers such fresh peach and pear aromas and flavors with a decided streak of minerality for this price. Earthy notes add complexity to the finish. Excellent QPR." - Dr. Debs on Good Wine Under $20. This wine was featured in the July 13, 2007... |

Twisted Oak Verdelho Alta Mesa Silvaspoons Vineyard 2006United States > California > Lodi > Alta Mesa Gold Medal, 2008 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition "On the nose I found cream, white pepper, tropical fruit, cantaloupe, peach, and flowers. The wine was very aromatic. I also loved the pale straw color of the wine. In the mouth the wine showed pineapple, peach, citrus, and melons. The wine was surprisingly crisp and very refreshing. We quaffed it on an unusually warm winter... |

Twisted Oak Viognier Calaveras County 2005United States > California > Calaveras County "This is seriously good Viognier, a textbook example of the aromas and flavors characteristic of the varietal: honeysuckle, jasmine, and orange blossom flowers; zippy citrus including lemon and an intriguing note of mandarin orange. The wine was also very well-balanced, with a slightly sweet impression when you first sipped it, and then refreshing acidity in the flavors. Excellent QPR." - Dr.... |

Twisted Oak Viognier Calaveras County 2005United States > California > Calaveras County Gold Medal, 2008 West Coast Wine Competition 88 Points, Wine Enthusiast Magazine , July 2008 "Long mission report short: I was blown away. This wine excels in so many ways that I have a hard time finding a comparable Viognier in my recent memory. This wine is crisp, smooth, flavorful and very well balanced. Viognier has a tendency to be off kilter in one respect or... |
