Another beauty from Duckhorn’s 2012 line, definitely a banner vintage for them. It’s all here — blackberry, cassis, vanilla, fall spice and a dash of earth supported with firm grip and finishing long and rich without getting all fleshy and overblown. It’s worthy of your finest dinners and best guests. Contains 17% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot.
