“What a wine. It tries to intimidate. At first, by its bottle size and alcohol level, but in the glass this 100% Garnacha is like a purring kitten—well a purring 20-pound Maine Coon cat, joyous in its pretty red fruit, and its earthy, meaty, vanilla and cinnamon toast range of goodness. All lush, Twisted Oak’s Torcido is, like a retro soap opera, brave and beautiful.”
Now, who doesn’t want some “retro soap opera” in a glass?
Some of you already knew there was some high-quality wine coming out of Calaveras and have been keeping this area a secret from your other wine-loving friends and family. But thanks to Wine Enthusiast, the cat’s out of the bag.
Calaveras wine country is a force to be reckoned with on the international wine scene. Cheers to that!
