Another fine Merlot from the undisputed California king of the variety. This one is a nice mix of black and red fruit, with a little pepper joining in on the palate and intensifying in the finish. The fruit stays forward, as you’ve come to appreciate in Duckhorn’s portfolio. Very nice! Contains 2% Cabernet Sauvignon.
