Duckhorn

One of California’s legendary vineyards, Three Palms is revered for its history and its benchmark wines. The team at Duckhorn has crafted a vineyard-designated Merlot from this property since the inaugural vintage in 1978. Named for its three iconic palm trees, the warm, up-valley vineyard features lean soils that cause the vines to send their roots deep in search of nutrients, producing an intense, age-worthy wine with complex layers of fruit and minerality.

Once again, the famed Three Palms Vineyard has yielded a fascinating and luxuriously full-bodied Merlot. Aromas of huckleberry, black cherry, chocolate and fig rise from the glass, followed by hints of graphite, graham cracker, bay leaf and sage. On the mouth-watering palate the flavours are intense and complex, with velvety tannins and voluptuous fruit balanced by earthy undertones and Three Palms’ classic minerality, all of which carry the wine to a rich and remarkably long finish. Merlot is remarkably versatile at the dinner table, easily pairing with any roasted white and dark meats, stews, and flavourful cheeses.

“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.”
