Always an epic bottling, the Duckhorn 2020 Three Palms Merlot is bold in fruit character showing a deep nose of blackberry and cassis, easy pepper and sturdy oak, with complementary stemmy notes joining in on the weighty, structured palate. This will as usual take some time to calm down, but it will be well worth the wait. Contains 2% Malbec.
