6 Bottles Duckhorn Three Palms Merlot 2019 750ml

Merlot from Calistoga, Napa Valley, California Notes from the Winemaker The exceptional 2019 growing season produced a fascinating and elegantly full-bodied expression of Merlot at the famed Three Palms Vineyard. Luxurious aromas of black plum, boysenberry, and dark chocolate leap from the glass, followed by hints of sweet molasses and vanilla bean. On the palate, firm tannins and undercurrents of energetic acidity add brightness and poise to lush dark berry flavors, while promising a long life ahead. Blend: 92% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Malbec, 1% Cabernet Franc Reviews and Accolades 95 Points/James SucklingI like the savory nose here, with notes of coffee, spiced plum, overturned earth and bark. Full-bodied with fine, silky tannins. Expressive, but focused, with really clean and clear dark fruit blending nicely with ground spice and grilled herbs. Totally delicious. This will age very nicely. 95 Points/Connoisseurs' Guide6% Cabernet Sauvignon; 1% Malbec; 1% Cabernet Franc. Y
