Description

Duckhorn Vineyard Napa Valley Merlot, California, USA, 2018

Grapes: 82% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1.4% Cabernet Franc, 0.4% Petit Verdot, 0.2% Malbec aged for 15 months in 100% French oak (40% new). Fruit sourced from vineyards in Carneros, Oak Knoll, Calistoga, Napa Valley and Yountville.

Inspired after a visit to Bordeaux, Dan Duckhorn produced the first vintage of Duckhorn Vineyards Napa Valley Merlot in 1978. Highlighting Estate vineyards and top sites, our renowned Merlot reflects the diversity of the valley’s many appellations. Blending with Cabernet Sauvignon adds notable depth and structure, as well as signature flavours of black cherry, plum and spice.

Winemaker Notes:

From its tempting aromas of ripe cherry and black raspberry to its sweet, dusty tannins and supple texture, this a lush and expansive expression of Napa Valley Merlot. Luxurious flavours of black plum, rhubarb crumble and chocolate-covered raspberry mingle with hints of graphite and clove on the long, vibrant finish.

2018 offered near picture-perfect growing conditions and with temperate weather throughout autumn, it was possible to pick each block at optimal ripeness, yielding exceptionally juicy and polished red wines, with plush, well-rounded tannins, and lovely overall structure.
