1 hour decant(little cloudy sediment). A wondrous dark ruby red color. On the nose: jumping from the glass are dark berries, loamy earth, oak, pencil shavings, and smoke. Taste: soft, lush, integrated wine with dark plum, currants, lots of milk chocolate, and a spiced cherry/tar medium finish. YUM!

Outstanding. Parents are in town for 8th grade graduation (I have a high school kid now 😳). Deep dark red color. Black fruit, mint and cedar. Velvet texture (not sure how else to describe). This opened up nicely after about an hour. I really love Duckhorn Merlot.

Not jammy not overly plush but an A+ Napa mostly Merlot that will be even better in about 2 years and should hold up for decades after.
