Description

Duckhorn Vineyards has made Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon for decades, and this half bottle shows why. The wine is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon. A small share of Merlot and Cabernet Franc softens the edges. In 2022, for example, the blend was 94% Cabernet, 5% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc. It then spent about 16 months in French oak, half of it new. You get a polished, layered red that tastes of the Napa Valley.

In the glass, look for dark red berries with a warm lift of cardamom. Recent vintages also show hints of dark chocolate and violet. Sip this wine and boysenberry and fig jam fill your mouth. The tannins are firm and fine-grained. Bright acidity keeps it fresh, and the finish is long and focused.

Because this listing covers several vintages, the details move a little from year to year. The 2020 leaned toward huckleberry and black tea, for example. The style stays the same, though. It is always elegant, with real strength under the fruit.

Serve it slightly cooler than room temperature. A short decant of about half an hour helps it open. Then pour it alongside grilled steak, lamb chops, roasted vegetables or a rich pasta.

The 375ml size holds about two and a half glasses. That is just right for a dinner for two. You can enjoy a great Napa Cabernet without opening a full bottle.
