Description
This 2022 Napa Valley Merlot from Duckhorn Vineyards is a delicious blend of 85% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc sourced from both their estate vineyards, and other top sites in Napa Valley. It was aged in 25% new and 75% one-year-old French oak barrels for 15 months. The vibrant red fruit flavors take center stage with more subtle accents from the oak aging showing on the supple, velvety finish that is the classic Duckhorn style. Embodying the alluring beauty of great Napa Valley Merlot, this wine reveals vibrant aromas of red currant, ripe plum, black raspberry, cherry and sweet baking spices, with hints of tea leaves and cocoa. The palate is rich and luxurious, with silky tannins and flavors of ripe red berries, pie crust and fig compote gliding to a bright, elegant finish.
