|  | | Chateau/Producer: | Duckhorn |  | Wine Name: | Merlot |  | Country: | USA |  | State: | California |  | AOC: | Napa Valley |  | Wine Score: | 98 |  | Notes: | Deep purple in color. Nose of green olives, chocolate, caramel. Velvety smooth, but quite tight; full-bodied, wonderful balance, even with very powerful yet un-harsh tannins.  Best California Merlot I've ever tasted... and so young with much potential. |  | Tasting Date: | 2004-12-24 |  | Price US$: | 50.00 |
