This is the wine that made Duckhorn famous and it’s still going strong. The 2012 vintage was superb in the Napa Valley and delivered a Duckhorn Merlot that shows impressive dimension and complexity, with deep notes of plum, cassis, leather and coffee. While superb for near-term drinking, it will improve in a proper cellar for up to a decade or more.
