Merlot Napa Valley 2020, 75 cl

Inspired by a visit to Bordeaux, Dan Duckhorn produced the first vintage of Duckhorn Vineyards Napa Valley Merlot in 1978. Highlighting the vineyards and top sites of Napa Valley, this wine reflects the diversity of the valley's various appellations. The blend, with a small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon, lends it remarkable depth and structure, along with Merlot's characteristic aromas of black cherry, plum, and spice. On the nose, it reveals vibrant aromas of red currants, ripe plums, black raspberries, cherry, and sweet baking spices, underscored with notes of tea leaves and cocoa. On the palate, it is rich, with silky tannins and flavors of ripe red berries, baked cake, and fig compote, culminating in an elegant finish.
