Varietal Composition: 100% Merlot
We produced our first Duckhorn Vineyards Merlot in 1978. In the years since, mountain-grown grapes have played an essential role in our Napa Valley Merlot program. Atlas Peak’s temperatures can be as much as 10 degrees cooler than the valley floor, and its high-elevation vineyards are largely above the fog line. This results in long, even ripening that delivers exceptional Merlot vintage after vintage. Our Atlas Peak Merlot displays beautiful concentration with briar berry character alongside wild spice and herb notes.

Winemaker Notes
From its complex aromas of Mission fig, red currant, black cherry and huckleberry to its energetic acidity and rich, rustic structure this is a dazzling expression of mountain-grown Merlot. On the palate, flavors of raspberry, black plum, chocolate and anise mingle with hints of cedar, clove and orange blossom throughout a long, complex finish.
