Description
Duckhorn Vineyards has been producing Cabernet Sauvignon since 1978. The Duckhorn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of fruit sourced from estate vineyards and leading growers in the Napa Valley. It embodies the complexity of the valley, while providing a seamless balance of fruit, oak and tannins. To add nuance, the Cabernet is blended with Merlot, resulting in a wine that is approachable in its youth but worth putting down. The final blend is 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc.
