Duckhorn Napa Valley Merlot, 2021

Polished Merlot with velvety tannins and creamy-texture

"A very polished merlot with velvety tannins that are medium in density and very fine and long. Medium to full body. Juicy fruit with berry and green-olive character and a creamy-textured finish. Plenty of energy in the tannins."
-James Suckling 97/100 points
