Duckhorn 2018 Three Palms Vineyard Merlot (Napa Valley)
#97 Top 100 Cellar Selections 2022
Return to List This is an intensely layered and powerful wine, burly in sage, tobacco and dried herb. The brawny concentration continues in the form of dark cherry, cacao nib and toasted oak. Tight in its youth, this wine will benefit from time in the cellar. Best enjoyed 2028–2033. Virginie Boone
