This vineyard-designate from Duckhorn’s Monitor Ledge vineyard is an expression of nearly 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon planted in well-drained gravel and sandy soils. The flavors and aromas are intense and persistent, exhibiting the red-fruited profile for which the vineyard is known. This particular Cabernet is among the most mineral-driven you will find in the Napa Valley. It is firmly structured and well balanced, with a long, lingering finish that will only benefit from extended cellar age.
