one 750 ml bottle of each:

2014 Duckhorn Vineyards Three Palms Merlot (Wine Spectator Wine of the Year, 2017)

Duckhorn Vineyards was founded in Napa Valley in 1976, and Merlot has been its specialty from the start. Since its first vintage, in 1978, the winery has tapped one of the valley’s most storied vineyards: Three Palms, named for the trio of palms that grow in its midst.

San Francisco socialite Lillie Hitchcock Coit owned the site in the late-19th century and planted the original palms. But for Margaret and Dan Duckhorn, Three Palms was the anchor that helped them build one of Napa Valley’s most accomplished wineries.

Their faith in the grape has been richly rewarded. The classic-scoring 2014 Duckhorn Merlot Three Palms Vineyard is Wine Spectator’s 2017 Wine of the Year.** The 2014 Three Palms is an elegant expression of Merlot, loaded with red fruit and spice flavors that are supported by medium-grained tannins and age worthiness.

Tradition and innovation; continuity and transition: Duckhorn Vineyards is a wine company built on Merlot grown around three of the most famous palm trees in California, in our beloved Calistoga.

**As soon as Wine Spectator announced its 2017 Wine of the Year choice, Duckhorn sold out of their 2014 Three Palms Merlot in days to adoring fans and collectors.  Everyone else sold out, too.  Here's your chance! We defy you to try to find the 2014 Three Palms Merlot ... anywhere but here!
