January 19, 2024 - Sorry to say, but this one is over the hill. Three Palms is legendary and has produced some great wines, and I’m sure in it’s prime this bottle was excellent, but now it is almost undrinkable. Almost tastes like a corked wine. My wife says that it will be fine for her to use in her pasta sauce. A disappointment, but I should have paid more attention to it a few years ago.

August 26, 2023 - It’s good, drinking in a nice place now. I don’t think I would let it go much longer. It’s well integrated, there is fruit there, no exceptionally savory characteristics yet. I have a lot of respect for the wines 3 Palms puts out, and this is certainly a well made wine and carries the torch of the 2014 WOTY nicely.

June 2, 2023 - very balanced and smooth - pleasing cherry and plum flavors - minimal tannin and touches of sweet spice on the finish...drink now.

May 21, 2023 - My second enjoyment and notes of the 2015 Three Palms.
What a difference 3 years has made on the development of this Merlot. The nose is more pronounced with Plum and Black fruits. Scents of cedar, oak and even some cigar box creates an intoxicating aroma. The palate is well developed and integrated, Full bodied but soft and lush with well balanced tannin, alcohol, and acids. The black fruits are center stage with various woods wrapping around them and a finish of milk chocolate. Short decant and enjoyed!2 people found this helpful Comment -

April 22, 2023 - Plum and black currant fruit. This is full bodied and modern in oak influence, but it is serious and deeper than the standard Duckhorn merlot. Drinking young at age 8.
