Givenly | No Box | Duckhorn Merlot & Cakebread Cellars Chardonnay

Combining lovely structure and alluring appeal, this is a classic expression of Duckhorn Vineyards Merlot. This wine is a complex blend of several individual vineyard lots, incorporating fruit from their estate vineyards and from top independent growers throughout the Napa Valley.

Intense aromas of ripe cherry, plum and black fig rise from the glass, underscored by hints of leather and cedar. On the palate, it is lush and supple, with bright acidity and velvety tannins supporting layers of raspberry and black cherry, as well as hints of coffee and chocolate that carry through on the long finish. The final wine is a rich and cohesive expression of the entire region.

Sourced primarily from Cakebread’s vineyard holdings in Carneros, the 2017 Napa Valley Chardonnay leaps from the glass with enchanting aromas of spiced pears, apple butter, and lanolin. Rich and full-bodied, the palate delivers appealing freshness with a round, supple texture and a lingering finish.
