2020 Duckhorn Merlot ‘Three Palms Vineyard’ Calistoga, Napa Valley 3L OWC

Winemaker’s Notes: Epic, elegant and profoundly complex, this stunning wine draws you in with aromas of fresh cranberry, huckleberry, crushed rose petals, raspberry and graham crackers. On the palate, mesmerizing layers of black fig and cocoa powder mingle with the lush berry flavors, with a sophisticated note of minerality emerging on the long, resonant finish.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Wilfred Wong - "The Duckhorn Vineyards Three Palms Vineyard Merlot is an iconic wine that always demands attention with its yearly release. The 2020 vintage is alluring, persistent, and classic. This wine excels with aromas and flavors of dried leather, bright berries, spice, and oaky notes. Serve it with an oven-baked, rosemary, and garlic-infused leg of lamb."


Wine Spectator - "Tense with structure, this red slowly reveals itself with savory plum and dried cherry flavors, highlighted by dusky spices and anise as this builds toward broad-shouldered tannins. Best from 2025 through 2031. 4,793 cases made."
