The Winery

Duckhorn Vineyards

Co-founded by Dan and Margaret Duckhorn in 1976, Duckhorn Vineyards has spent the last forty years perfecting its production of Merlot. Being one of the few wineries in Napa Valley that chose to perfect their Merlot rather than Cabernet Sauvignon has allowed them to focus on youthful drinkability, approachability, and smooth texture. With their estate vineyards taking over more than 400 hectares, the Merlot is considered to be one of the best in the state of California.

Tasting Notes

WE91
Benefiting from a larger percentage of Three Palms Vineyard fruit than ever before, this majority Merlot also holds Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. The result is a density of rich, soft and spicy red fruit supported by structured tannins. This is ready for the table and a wide range of pairings.
JS90
A fresh style of merlot with light chocolate and blueberry character. Medium body, firm tannins and a crisp finish. Food matcher. Drink now.
