Score 93/100 · Drink 2027-2039, Jeb Dunnuck, Jan 2025

The 2021 Merlot Three Palms Vineyard is based on 87% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Malbec and Cabernet Franc. Ripe black cherries, blackberries, leather, camphor, and subtle graphite notes all define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied, has ripe yet substantial tannins, and a great finish. It's impressive. Give bottles 2-4 years and enjoy over the following decade.

This relaxed, deep and well-composed wine is rich in black fruit and oak spices on smooth, melted tannins. One of the classic California merlots, it is full-bodied and generous in dark cherry, tobacco leaf, cedar and bay leaf flavors, with accents of dark chocolate. Grown in the warmer, northern end of Napa Valley. Drink now or hold.
