This Duckhorn Napa Valley Merlot is a luxurious, velvety, and robust red wine. On the nose, it offers aromas of ripe black cherry and plum, with notes of cocoa and spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and smooth, with a long, lingering finish. Flavors of dark fruit, mocha, and a hint of anise and black pepper carry through. Balanced and harmonious, this Merlot is sure to please. Enjoy with grilled meats, aged cheeses, and hearty stews.
