The 2005 Duckhorn Merlot is blended to show off the complexity and balance of a young wine. This vintage is a full-bodied wine with a lush entry, refined tannins, and an elegant finish. The aroma is sweet with toffee, dark chocolate, blackberry pie, and black cherry complemented by dried herbs, cedar and vanilla. The flavors in the mouth are ripe plum, strawberry jam, toasted oak, and caramel, accented by a lingering finish.
Our Napa Valley Merlot is a blend of several individual vineyard lots, utilizing fruit from our own Estate Vineyards and from independent growers throughout the Napa Valley. The final wine is an expression of the Napa Valley itself, reflecting the unique micro-climates and soils of the entire appellation. |
