The tasting note for 2003 Duckhorn Vineyards Merlot Napa Valley is from Robert Parker and the score is 92 - Here's a wonderfully rich, rewarding Merlot. It's as soft and creamy as melted chocolate mixed with blackcurrant jam and a sprinkle of creme de cassis, with a rich sprinkling of oaky vanilla, but fortunately, it has the acidic backbone needed for structure. This is a sexy wine.
