2007 Duckhorn Merlot $49.99

I have never really been a fan of Duckhorn wines. I feel like you are just dropping cash on a Napa name while there are other wines out there that you can have for a better price that taste a hell of a lot better. The color of the wine was pretty red maybe even heading toward the purple side of things. Notes of black fruit and spices. On the palate there were huge notes of oak (wow what a fucking shocker!) with some earth tones. Tannins were big but seemed to slide away like first time you farted in front of a girl. You knew you just did it but could not believe you did. Kinda meaty on the end. For $50 I expect a bit more.
