There’s black-currant clarity to this clean and luscious cabernet, a blend of Duckhorn’s estate-grown fruit with purchased grapes. The dark fruit is layered with brighter black-raspberry flavor and rich chocolate tones from its time in French oak barrels (50 percent new). Relatively light in weight but saturated in flavor, the wine sustains a lovely mineral tension as it opens with air. SP9191 pts. - Wine Spectator - Oct 31, 2019
Warm plum, blackberry and boysenberry reduction notes glide through, infused with sage, melted licorice and warm tobacco leaf accents. Takes on a gently mulled feel on the fleshy finish. Drink now through 2025. 42,000 cases made. WE8888 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 12/1/2019
Tightly tannic and robustly concentrated, this is a powerhouse red wine, dotted in black cherry, vanilla and toasted oak. Accents of dried herb and sage provide complementary spice and earth to the richness.
