It has a smooth and velvety texture, balanced acidity, and a long finish, making it a perfect choice for special occasions or pairing with fine cuisine.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Duckhorn Estate Grown Merlot offers a full-bodied nose of dark cherry and cassis, followed by notes of baking spices, mocha, and vanilla.On the palate, it is rich and juicy, with flavors of blackberry and plum, and a hint of cocoa on the finish. The tannins are present but well-integrated, providing a smooth and balanced mouthfeel. This is a great Merlot to enjoy with grilled meats, game, and aged cheeses.
