(Duckhorn Napa Valley Merlot) #1; COLOR-extremely dark; NOSE-very nice; very creamy; some black currant; also a really nice raspberry rhubarb component;; PALATE-the first thing I get is an enormous sour cherry attack; rounded out by some oak (but not over-the-top); good firm tannins; this wine's really serious on the back-end (like J-Lo); good solid structure; I like the subtle bark and rosemary/black pepper component on the back-end; has a GREAT long finish; great structure; I'm yearning for a steak; this is a Cabernet lovers Merlot; this is a big wine with great structure; nice subtle vanilla from the oak; WN-96; GV-90

Medium ruby red with a garnet hue. Bright red cherries on the nose with aged nuanced such as cedar, leather and cocoa. Medium tannins (5.5/10) and a medium body. Well balanced acidity with cherries, touch of baking spices, minerality and a medium plus finish. Drink till 2025.
