Duckhorn Merlot 2014, Napa Valley, California, United States: Savoury and juicy with aromas and flavours of fleshy black plums and smoke. Firm tannins so decant 1-2 hours. Ultra-plush red wine for diehard merlot fans seeking the Platonic ideal of merlot. Founders Daniel and Margaret Duckhorn have created quite a following for their Merlot-based wines since they first made them in the 1970s, as well as other classic Bordeaux grapes. Cellar this beauty or enjoy it with grilled pork chops tonight. Drink: 2017-2021. 992529 14.50% XD 750 mL  $69.95 Score: 93/100. January 6, 2018 Top Rated Red Wine. Glorious Game Wine Full Review
