Just another success for this bottling. When Duckhorn first branched out into Washington, this was the initial offering, and it’s been good from the beginning. I imagine that the fruit sourcing has been fairly consistent, and the vines seem to add depth of character with each succeeding vintage. It is textbook Cabernet that hits all the markers, including the one that says “go ahead, age me a while – you won’t be sorry.” Good advice.
