Duckhorn’s Napa Valley Cabernet is unusually approachable in its youth with this vintage, with forward ripe fig, blackberry and currants ruling the roost on the nose and in the mouth. Don’t worry though, it’s got plenty of stuffing for either rich meat dishes now, or extended cellar time. Contains 16% Merlot, .8% Cabernet Franc and .2% Petit Verdot.
