Highlighting Estate vineyards and top sites, our renown Merlot reflects the diversity of the valley’s many appellations. Blending with Cabernet Sauvignon adds notable depth and structure, as well as signature flavors of black cherry, plum and spice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column accolades\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"target\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"proRev\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"v65-professionalReview weProReview v65-product-attribute\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\" class=\"v65-product-attributeLabel\"\u003eWine Enthusias\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"v65-product-attributeValue\"\u003e92\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"v65-professionalReview wnProReview v65-product-attribute\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\" class=\"v65-product-attributeLabel\"\u003eJames Suckling\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"v65-product-attributeValue\"\u003e92\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"v65-product-attributeValue\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"v65-product-attributeValue\"\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eWine Profile\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"v65-wine-productionNotes v65-product-attribute\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\" class=\"v65-product-attributeLabel\"\u003eProduction Notes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"v65-product-attributeValue\"\u003eVarietal Composition: 85% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"v65-product-attributeValue\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"v65-wine-wineMakerNotes v65-product-attribute\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\" class=\"v65-product-attributeLabel\"\u003eWinemaker Notes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"v65-product-attributeValue\"\u003eThis wine opens with an alluring nose of floral notes and dark red berries, characteristic of a quintessential Napa Valley Merlot.

Budbreak arrived a little over a week early, and we enjoyed warm, steady weather throughout spring and summer. We began picking Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and some Merlot as early as mid-August, but the first big push began after a Labor Day heat event, when our generous canopies paid dividends, helping shade the grapes. After a busy few weeks, a cool spell allowed the remaining grapes time to mature. To counter the impact of modest mid-September rains, we applied a careful fruit drop, and were equally diligent during sorting. Overall, harvest lasted eleven weeks, delivering wines with excellent concentration, supple tannins, lovely finesse and dynamic acidity.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HKOnlineWineShop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51926913614104,"sku":"192000872","price":298.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0841\/0801\/7944\/files\/the-duckhorn-portfolio-2022-duckhorn-vineyards-napa-valley-merlot_c763f2bf-957b-4230-b216-175e860e9b94.jpg?v=1778683805","url":"https:\/\/hkonlinewineshop.com\/ja\/products\/duckhorn-vineyards-napa-valley-merlot-2022-1x37-5cl","provider":"HKOnlineWineShop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
