"Our Napa Valley Merlot is blended to capture the complexity and balance of a young wine, while embodying the diversity of the entire Napa Valley appellation. This Merlot offers a rich texture, ripe tannins and seamlessly integrated French oak flavors. The bouquet displays lush layers of ripe plum and bright raspberry underscored by notes of sandalwood, walnut and spice. On the palate, polished flavors of red cherry and raspberry are accented by an enticing layer of graham cracker piecrust."
Winemaker Bill Nancarrow's Notes
Wine Enthusiast
Astringently tannic, as Duckhorn’s new red wines tend to be, but very rich, very ripe, and sweet enough in fruit and oak to drink now with a nice steak. Floods the mouth with blackberries, cassis, chocolate, violets, mushu plum sauce, licorice and cedar. Best now through 2012.
