You can hardly go wrong with a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from the exceptional 2013 vintage, and certainly not a 2013 from Duckhorn. The Cab from Duckhorn’s Patzimaro Vineyard is a seductive beauty that shows mocha and spice on the nose, with a layered palate of blackberry and boysenberry. Hints of cedar on the finish add to this very complex package that easily needs another eight to ten years to reach peak maturity, which it should then hold for a decade or more.Duckhorn Vineyards, Napa Valley (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
