94pts Wilfred Wong

COMMENTARY: The Duckhorn Vineyards Three Palms Vineyard Merlot is an iconic wine that always demands attention with its yearly release. The 2020 vintage is alluring, persistent, and classic. TASTING NOTES: This wine excels with aromas and flavors of dried leather, bright berries, spice, and oaky notes. Serve it with an oven-baked, rosemary, and garlic-infused leg of lamb.

Winemaker Notes

Epic, elegant and profoundly complex, this stunning wine draws you in with aromas of fresh cranberry, huckleberry, crushed rose petals, raspberry and graham crackers. On the palate, mesmerizing layers of black fig and cocoa powder mingle with the lush berry flavors, with a sophisticated note of minerality emerging on the long, resonant finish.

Blend: 98% Merlot, 2% Malbec
