Duckhorn, Napa Valley (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

May 5, 2020

By Rich Cook

 This iconic site delivers reliably with Cabernet just as much as it does with its more famous Merlot.  The fruit profile is a marvel of complexity, with defined black, blue and red berries all carefully choreographed in a dance with stony minerality and a delicate caramelized sugar note. The finish keeps all the flavors weaving in and out of your senses.  For as big as this is, it’s light on its feet and keeps you coming back for more.  An absolute delight!  Contains 5% Merlot and 3% Malbec.
