Duckhorn Vineyards Three Palms Vineyard Merlot - 2000 (750ml)

The 2000 Merlot Three Palm Vineyards, a popular offering for Merlot lovers, boasts a deeply pigmented ruby/purple color in addition to a big, sweet nose of black fruits, mocha, cocoa, and new oak followed by seamless, medium-bodied flavors with very good concentration. There are no hard edges in this spicy, richly fruity Merlot, but the finish is a bit short.
