If the label looks familiar to the point it reminds you of something, your right. This is a side project, if you like, brought to you by Duckhorn Winery in Napa.
This wine is part of a select portfolio of wines sourced from the Red Mountain district of Washington State with a reputation for producing exceptional Cabernet. What you’re getting is several decades of well-crafted experienced wine making and some of the finest grapes available in Washington State … at a fraction of the price.
This is a blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc with a delightful mix of dark fruits, floral notes, chocolate and spices imploring you to take a sip. The palate is soft and silky that reflect depth, complexity and finesse revealing impressive layers of dark cherries, plum, rich red fruits and mocha drawing down on every grape varietal included. This is a really well put together wine with beautiful balance, a long finish and an aging potential of 2028 and beyond. An absolute pleasure to drink.
