Duckhorn Vineyards – Three Palms Vineyard 2013 – Napa Valley

The nose is gourmand, elegant, aromatic and offers complexity, finesse as well as depthness. It reveals notes of blackberry cream, cassis and fine notes of blueberry combined with touches of chocolate, violet as well as subtle touches of lily and sweet spices. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, racy and offers minerality, an acide frame, juiciness, a beautiful definition as well as a beautiful and silky matter. On the palate this wine expresses notes of blackberry cream, cassis and raspberry combined with slight touches of blueberry, saline minerality, chocolate as well as subtle touches of caramelized oak. Tannins are fine, firm and straight. Good length and beautiful persistence. (2022+)
