Duckhorn’s 2019 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon walks a fine line between old school and new school Napa Cabernet. It features lively blackberry, cassis and fall spice notes that take charge initially, but then give way to mixed dried herbs and moderate oak toast that support the fruit and deliver the complexity you should be expecting at this price point. It is pretty tasty now, and will reward ten or more years of cellaring. Contains 13% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot.
