The nose shows lots of stewed berries with a touch of bramble happening in the background. Raspberry and chocolate flavors emerge on the palate, with short pleasurable tannins.

Winner vs it's right bank competitor! Sweet chocolate, bright red fruit, aggressive oak influences, well balanced and proportioned - Duckhorns 2010 is a lovable effort and merits 91 points in France vs California by learnaboutwine.com 5.25.14 #delectable #wine

When’s a Merlot not a Merlot; when it’s American 🤣 A solid “Merlot” from Duckhorn as always at a right priced £40 👍
📍 Duckhorn Merlot 2010
🏵 93 points
🍇 90% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Cabernet Franc - that’s a Merlot then 😂
🍷 Opaque ruby
👃 Soft smoked oak through rich plump beaten damson plum w/ blueberry, cocoa cream, blackcurrant & mineralised herbs
👄 Med+ body of creamy plum & punchy blackcurrant w/ tones of blueberry bathed in buttery cocoa
🎯 Long dark black fruit plummy blueberry cocoa goo fest that’s a silky fruit bomb
