Duckhorn Three Palms Napa Merlot 2016 1.5L Rated 95WE

Wine Enthusiast Review
Rated 95
Soft, supple and powerful, this wine from the famous estate site is incredibly structured—a dense mingle of blackberry, blueberry and cocoa dust. The fruit is accented in cedar and clove, with nuances of crushed rock, the length impressively long-lived.

Wine Tasting Notes
Once again, the famed Three Palms Vineyard has yielded a fascinating and full-bodied Merlot. Luxurious aromas of black cherry, plum, raspberry, cedar and wet slate rise from the glass where they mingle with hints of chocolate and sweet baking spices. On the palate, dusty tannins add nuance and sophistication to a round, fleshy texture, with flavors of black and red fruit, fig and iron-rich earthy notes drawing the wine to a long, resonant finish.
