Sweet smoke, pipe smoke nose with boysenberry jam, bramble and chocolate and dried apricots. On the palate it’s got surprisingly fresh acidity and tension and texture. #merlot #napavalley #loscarneros #duckhorn

Blind tasting. Pretty much what you would expect from Duckhorn. Great structure. Will cellar for five or more years.
