Community Tasting Note

Dagalaifus Likes this wine:

Sunday, April 14, 2024 - Duckhorn's Three Palms Vineyard has been described as producing fruit for consistently one of the best Merlots in California. The 2019 vintage is darkest ruby in the glass (almost inky) with a nose and palate of bright, red cherry and muted oak. It has a lengthy and lip-smacking finish. I made the mistake of popping and pouring the wine the first time that it was tasted. Without air, it was quite a disappointment -- especially, for a $100 bottle. I scored it a 90, and was left scratching my head and wondering if, I was drinking the same wine that my CT brethren had described. A 5-hour decant, however, softened its fierce tannins and allowed its beautiful fruit to emerge.
