Winemaker Notes
Embodying the alluring beauty of great Napa Valley Merlot, this wine reveals vibrant aromas of red currant, ripe plum, black raspberry, cherry and sweet baking spices, with hints of tea leaves and cocoa. The palate is rich and luxurious, with silky tannins and flavors of ripe red berries, pie crust and fig compote gliding to a bright, elegant finish.
Blend: 80% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot

COMMENTARY: The 2019 Duckhorn Vineyards Merlot offers a smooth and delectable ride on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine excels with aromas and flavors of black fruit, earthy notes, and a suggestion of oak. Enjoy it with grilled lamb kebabs. (Tasted December 28, 2021, San Francisco, CA)

Aromas of plums, redcurrants, baking spice and dried roses. Medium-bodied with velvety tannins. Vibrant acidity articulates the juicy red fruit and berries. A hint of herbal character adds pleasant savoriness, too. Drink now.
