My favorite Duckhorn "Discussion" to date, one that will get your guests discussing the delight in their glass should you choose to share this bottle with them. A deep nose of blackberry, cassis and allspice greet you, and they delivered as flavors in a dry yet fruit forward style over supple tannins and ride a finish that has great length and push. All the elements hang together, adding a hint of anise, with mouthwatering acidity keeping the delights coming. This will age nicely over ten years if you can wait that long. Delicious!
