Is merlot really passe??

[winoweenie]

Dandy whom-so-ebberly says Merlots are Passe haven't had some of the super bottlings from my ole drinkin' buddy Dangerous Dan Duckhorn. Have posted on many of the great Three Palms bottlings over the years and have a passel of his 01s and 02 Merlots in the cellar. All 3 of his vineyard designations (Napa, Three Palms, & Napa Estate), tho a little pricy, are absolutely outstanding wines that will give the patient collector a ton of rewards. WW
