Duckhorn, Merlot Napa Valley California 2021
One of my favorite wineries in Napa Valley. The Napa Valley Merlot is one of the first wines I ever tasted and it is the benchmark I still use today to measure all Merlots. Layers of dark fruits, cassis, leather, minerality, structure, tannins and balance. If you are a Pinot Noir lover because of the movie "Sideways" then you need to drink this wine and you will say "I will now drink F'ing Merlot!"
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.
