title: Duckhorn 2011 Three Palms Vineyard Merlot (Napa Valley)
description: There's grip around this wine's core of clove, plum and smoke but the lushness is muted, perhaps an indication of the tough growing year, while structure remains. Small amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc are blended in, the whole aged in 51% new French oak.
variety: Merlot
designation: Three Palms Vineyard
