2006 Duckhorn
Merlot
(USA / California / Napa)
|
RATED: 08/20/2009 |
|
|
|
| COMMENTS: |
Ruby, with hints of purple, with very thick & sticky legs that. Aromas of bell pepper and other green veggies, licorice, varnish, cedar, cola and plum. However, this wine was very hot, both on the nose and on the palate. You really had to pierce through the alcohol to smell and taste the essence of the wine. On the palate, it was very short; what lingers is the alcohol, streaking through the throat.Very firm and austere, juicy, albeit off in structure.

| COMMENTS: |
An awesome wine, especially when considering the price. It is pure Aussie shiraz, brimming with dark fruit aromas and jammy taste. It is somewhat thick in the mouth, and has the tannin to age gracefully over the next few years. Cellar it, if you can resist it.

Brown red, medium cherry brandy red color

This cherry black colored wine, AOC Moulis en Medoc appellation, has strong aromas like oak wood, coffee, spicies.
It has a light attack with a strong evolution and a long complex finish.
We can feel tannins on the back of the tongue which give it some astringent mouthfeeling.
This wine would be good with T-bone or rib steak but not with chicken or white meat otherwise tannins would became bitterness.

Wine club
winemaker's notes:
Bright crimson with some purple tints. Distinctive and commanding nose with a strong berry-like aroma. An abundance of ripe fruit. The principal flavor is of berry-like shiraz but hints of black pepper, with rich distinct oak. The length of palate shows strong, rich berry and cassis cabernet sauvignon character. Due to the nature of the stunning 98 vintage, with its concentration of flavor and berry, the blend of area and varieties were modified (on previous vintages) to highlight the exciting nature in Coonawarra.
