Blend of 92% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Cabernet Franc and 1% Malbec, deep Ruby with aromas of berry fruit, spice, cedar and earthy notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and cherry fruits, baking spices, cacao and earthy notes. Fine tannins, opened nicely, long finish ending with notes of berry fruits espresso, vanilla, mineral oaky tones and earthy spice. Nice good now, will age well!! Pair this with a roast duck!

Welcome to the weekend! Looks to be a wonderful weekend and lets try to enjoy it. This afternoon I have opened for a close friend of mine the 2017 Duckhorn Vineyards Three Palm Vineyard Merlot. The blend is 91% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Malbec, 1% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot.

On the nose there is black cherry, plum, raspberry, bay leaf, herbs, spice, violet and cedar.

The palate is beautiful complex fruit of black cherry, strawberry, plum, fig, chocolate, clove, vanilla, graphite and stoney slate.

This wine is full bodiedwith a velvety mouthfeel, medium + acidity and medium + to high medium grained tannins with a long dark fruit tannic finish. What a beautiful wine this is and what a way to start the weekend off. Have a great weekend and please be safe and stay healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

A tangy ripe nose. The fruit is very dense and OTT. Not great

The one and only Wine Spectator of the year 2017 #1 95 Pts wine. Extremely silky and smooth. Complex layers. Delicious.

The legendary Three Palms Vineyard tasted in Pass-A-Grille on a leisurely Saturday on the gulf - priceless.
