Duckhorn "Three Palms Vineyard" Merlot (Napa Valley, California) - [ws 93] [w&s 90]

93% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Malbec from Napa Valley, California

Vintage: 2016
Winery: Duckhorn Vineyards
Description: Since our inaugural 1978 vintage, we have been proud to craft a vineyard-designate Merlot from the legendary Three Palms Vineyard. Named for its three iconic palm trees, this warm, up-valley vineyard features lean soils that cause the vines to send their roots deep in search of nutrients, yielding a profoundly intense and age-worthy wine with complex fruit and mineral layers. As a testament to its status as the benchmark for New World Merlot, in 2017, Wine Spectator honored our 2014 Three Palms Vineyard Merlot as "Wine of the Year". Production Notes. Varietal Content: 93% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Malbec; Cooperage: 100% French oak - 75% new, 25% neutral. Winemaker Notes. Once again, the revered Three Palms Vineyard has yielded a benchmark expression of New World Merlot, with a complex, age-worthy structure, silken tannins, and radiant fruit. On the nose, aromas of huckleberry, plum, Bing cherry, cinnamon and rose petals are underscored by hints of cocoa and sweet French oak. As it evolves in the glass, flavors of cardamom, cranberry, blueberry and figs are revealed, as well as elements of earthy minerality that add drama to the long, complex finish.
