Varietal Composition: 100% Merlot
After falling in love with Merlot during a visit to Bordeaux, Dan Duckhorn started producing Duckhorn Vineyards Merlot in 1978. In the years since, grapes from the Napa portion of Carneros have played a pivotal role in our Napa Valley Merlot program. Influenced by the cooling effect of the Pacific Ocean, Carneros is ideally suited for growing exceptional Merlot, yielding a wine with beautiful structure, velvety texture and lovely layers of plum and mulberry.

With vibrant aromas of pomegranate, rhubarb and sage, this alluring wine embodies the cool-climate elegance of great Carneros Merlot. On the palate, dusty, fine-grained tannins accentuate juicy black raspberry and cranberry flavors with hints of sweet baking spices emerging on the long, satisfying finish.
