2022 Destin Estate Merlot

Destin Vineyard, Oak Knoll District, Napa Valley

Hailing from the Oak Knoll District AVA in Napa Valley, the 2022 Destin Estate Merlot exemplifies the essence and elegance that define this beloved varietal. Balancing opulence with vibrancy, this vintage captures attention with its inviting complexity. On the nose, a layered bouquet unfolds, showcasing red currants, subtle graphite, delicate floral tones, and a deep core of dark cherries. These aromas seamlessly transition to the palate, where concentrated red fruits harmonize with hints of clove, ripe plum, black pepper, and warm baking spices. With a medium-plus to full body, this Merlot offers a refined richness, polished by sweet oak undertones and the velvety smoothness of silky tannins. The finish is beautifully structured and enduring, leaving a lasting impression of depth and sophistication that invites you back for another sip.
