Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Complex and compelling, this generous wine reflects the diversity of great Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. On the nose, vibrant layers of red and black fruit mingle with hints of violet, dried herbs, black licorice and graphite. The flavors echo the aromas, with lovely black currant and licorice elements supported by firm, impeccably balanced, tannins and an excellent structure. Good acidity helps to carry the juicy dark fruit notes through to a long, satisfying finish.

Blend: 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot

    Duckhorn Vineyards produces one of America's most consistent and delicious Cabernet Sauvignons. The 2014 vintage is another excellent effort. This wine brings ripe cassis and licorice to the fore and combines those flavors with oak and vanilla nuances. Pair now with a juicy Porterhouse steak and savor. (Tasted: March 6, 2017, San Francisco, CA)

    This is marked by a strong herb and oak mixture and framed by a lively burst of red currant, red licorice, dusty, cedary oak and licorice notes. Drink now through 2030.

    One taster described this as “yummy” in its chocolate-mousse tannins; another found it youthful and closed. That dichotomy runs through the wine, a contrast of rich, round textural pleasure and more seriously firm, mineral cool. There’s spicy red fruit at its core, adding to the wine’s youthful tension. Decant it for something as rich as braised oxtail, or let it develop further in the bottle.

    A complex bouquet of creamy red and black fruit, cedar, tea leaves and a touch of tobacco leads into an open-knit, supple, ripe but fresh palate. It's a nice introduction to the Duckhorn Napa portfolio, and to the valley's Cabernets in general. Drinking Window 2017 - 2027

    Mint and berry aromas with hints of spices. Medium body, firm tannins and a medium finish. No reason to wait. Drink now. Always excellent.

One of the most prestigious wines of the world capable of great power and grace, Napa Valley Cabernet is a leading force in the world of fine, famous, collectible red wine. Today the Napa Valley and Cabernet Sauvignon are so intrinsically linked that it is difficult to discuss one without the other. But it wasn’t until the 1970s that this marriage came to light; sudden international recognition rained upon Napa with the victory of the Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1976 Judgement of Paris.

Cabernet Sauvignon undoubtedly dominates Napa Valley today, covering half of the land under vine, commanding the highest prices per ton and earning the most critical acclaim. Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure, acidity, capacity to thrive in multiple environs and ability to express nuances of vintage make it perfect for Napa Valley where incredible soil and geographical diversity are found and the climate is perfect for grape growing. Within the Napa Valley lie many smaller sub-AVAs that express specific characteristics based on situation, slope and soil—as a perfect example, Rutherford’s famous dust or Stags Leap District's tart cherry flavors.
