Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
Duckhorn's Napa Valley Cabernet blends fruit from estate and grower vineyards across the valley. It is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, rounded out with small amounts of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and sometimes Petit Verdot, and is aged in French oak. Black currant and dark cherry come layered with cocoa and sweet oak spice. The tannins are ripe and rounded rather than austere, giving a plush texture and a long, warm finish: a polished, generously fruited Napa Cabernet that drinks well young and keeps for a decade or more.
