2003 Duckhorn Vineyards Merlot Napa Valley (750ml)

"89 out of 100 - Bright ruby-red. Exotic black cherry, dark chocolate, menthol, mint and truffle on the nose. Sweet, lush and pliant, with flavors of currant, chocolate, truffle, smoke, earth and oak. Finishes with dusty, slightly dry-edged but ripe tannins and a suggestion of tarry oak. - Stephen Tanzer, vinous.com
