WINE DESCRIPTION

Duckhorn Stout Vineyard Merlot is a premium, single-vineyard wine produced by Duckhorn Wine Company, a renowned winery in Napa Valley. This wine is made from grapes grown in the Stout Vineyard, which is located at a high altitude, bringing freshness to balance the lush fruit expression. The winemaking process involves aging in a high proportion of small, new, French oak barrels bringing vanilla and cinnamon complexity. The resulting wine is a rich and full-bodied Merlot with notes of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice. It is a perfect choice for those who appreciate the power of Napa Valley Merlot.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Bold aromas of baked plum and blueberry compote alongside intense but well-integrated vanilla and cinnamon oak flavors on the nose, and a palate that is rich and opulent with firm, polished tannins all point to a Napa Valley merlot of great distinction.This wine is meant to be shared with good friends on special occasions. Drink now to enjoy its balanced opulence or cellar for the next 15 years.
