Treat Your Guests to an Unforgettable Wine Experience
with a Magnum of Duckhorn Napa Valley Merlot

Fleming's newest "Icon Wine" — Available in limited quantities at the special price of $150*while supplies last.

I absolutely love seeing the excitement that a Magnum-size bottle of wine brings to the dinner table. It really adds a specialness to any occasion. Not many wines are even available in 1.5 liter Magnums, which are the equivalent of two regular size bottles of wine. So I’m thrilled that we are offering Magnums of one of my personal favorites, the Duckhorn Vineyards Napa Valley Merlot at the special price of $150* per bottle throughout the holidays. This is a spectacular Merlot, made even more distinctive by its Magnum bottle.

Maeve HallWhether you are joining us for dinner with friends, arranging a large party, or organizing a private gathering for the holidays, a big bottle makes a dramatic statement when it arrives at your table. It’s so impressive. And fun. I always like to pick the special guest who gets the first glass! You can expect to get eight to twelve generous pours from a Magnum, and the Duckhorn Merlot is a luscious red that I’m sure everyone at your table will want to enjoy.

Duckhorn’s Merlot is fundamental to their winery. Dan Duckhorn “became enchanted with Merlot”, but in the late seventies it was mostly used as a blending grape in Napa Valley. To Dan, Merlot had a “softness and seductiveness” and knew it was a particularly good food wine. So, thirty years ago, he did something radical at the time. He decided to bottle the varietal on it’s own. Today, Duckhorn is one of Napa Valley’s most sought-after premium Merlots.

To reserve a Magnum of the Duckhorn Napa Valley Merlot for your next visit to Fleming’s, just let us know a day or two in advance so we can set aside one of these beautiful bottles for you. Or just ask when you join us. It’s guaranteed to make your holiday visit to Fleming’s unforgettable. Cheers!
