Duckhorn Merlot Three Palms Napa Valley 2013
Launching forth with a beautiful, elegant bouquet of red berries and cedar spice, the new Three Palms is a classic in the making. Simultaneously rich and elegant, it offers complex layers of blueberry, baking spice, and mocha. Given the embedded structure in this wine, it will age gracefully for years to come and evolve into an even more extraordinary wine. Enjoy over the next 10 years.
