Duckhorn Vineyards, Napa Valley (California) Merlot 2019

Aug 16, 2022

By Rich Cook

 In a blind tasting this wine got “BINGO” on my card for its depth, power and elegance.  It showcases classic Merlot markers, rich oak spice and a bright finish where the fruit and toast notes linger into the distance.  It burnishes the reputation of its source to say the least, and perhaps to say the most, it represents great value in its price range.  Splendid wine!  Contains 6% Cabernet Sauvignon,1% Cabernet Franc and 1% Malbec.
