Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 20, 2020 - Classic Duckhorn, quintessential Napa merlot. Big structure that tastes best in a big glass, where the aeration gives the structure justice. Magical majestic wine that would be rated higher with more structural and flavor complexity and depth, as well as length. Amazing nose and bouquet of earth, plum, cherry and dark fruit. A little bit on the sweeter end in smaller glasses...

Reason why was back in the early 2000's I had this wine at steakhouse in South Florida and was magical for me too with NY strip. Agree a little more structure needed but still a solid merlot. If you can grab a bottle the Three Palms Vineyards Merlot from Duckhorn and put a little age on it a you will get the better structure and a real treat.
