Duck horn 2014-slightly dryer than carneros. But not complex but enough. 8.9

Always liked Duckhorn Merlot even better than their Cabs. This one is no exception - very good. September 2017.

A great obscure Merlot from duck horn. Enjoyed it after an hour or two of breathing with a prime fillet. Hints of cherries but much more complex and not fruit in your face. Earthy feel with a smooth finish. First time I have enjoyed rector creek. Rank it up there with candlestick vineyard from duck horn.
