Duckhorn Howell Merlot 2001

Powerful, concentrated, and structured wine with the potential to age for 10-15 years. The aroma is nicely developed with cocoa, molasses, blackberry, sage, and mint. The flavors are a complex blend of wild berry, strawberry, and spice with sweet oak and bittersweet chocolate. We recommend decanting to aerate if you wish to experience the full character of this wine in its youth. 77% merlot and 23% cabernet sauvignon.
