Description
Duckhorn Vineyards has been a major player in Napa Valley since 1978, which was the year they first produced this iconic Merlot. Known as the 'King of American Merlot,' Duckhorn was instrumental in showcasing this grape's potential in Napa Valley terroir. With the recent addition of New Zealand-born winemaker Bill Nancarrow, who specialized in Bordeaux varietals during his winemaking tenure in Hawkes Bay, Duckhorn is well poised to continue its tradition of excellence. The 2007 Three Palms Vineyard Merlot spent 18 months in French oak, and sports lovely blueberry, chocolate and coffee nuances, as well as a rich, velvety texture. Expect it to provide great pleasure over the next decade.
