Merlove on a Thursday evening. The perfect way to ease into a Friday.

Cherry nose and fruity light pepper. Well balanced good, of course great with steak.

Red and black fruit. Nice structure with solid tannins, that opened up during the glass. Always enjoyed Duckhorn merlot and this 2019 was excellent as well. Nice dry, then long sweet finish.

Started off strong. Didn't improve much compared to the others. But still a solid choice.
