Duckhorn Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
New vintage of Duckhorn Cabernet Sauvignon now available. One of our favorite Napa Valley Cabernets. Though still in it's youth, the Duckhorn 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is a wonderfully aromatic and fragrant wine, with vibrant, lifted aromas of spearmint, blackcurrant, violets, graham cracker and loganberry. On the palate, blackberry and blueberry flavors mingle with cocoa and cola notes. Though the tannins impart a touch of youthful dryness, decanting reveals this wine’s classic Cabernet character, with a lovely structure, generous mouth-filling flavors and a long, satisfying finish.

Dark Ruby with aromas of ripe berry fruits, herbs and earthy spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry, raspberry and black currant with espresso, cacao, cedar and earthy spice notes. Well balanced, lively acidity, fine tannins long ending with fruit and toasty tobacco spice! Nice!

RICH. The word is RICH. Muscular Napa Valley Cab essence artfully weaving together fruit, oak, earth, tannin and acid, with an inviting nose, weighty mouthfeel and generous finish. Don’t often drink Napa Cabs these days because the QPR isn’t there, but this bottle doesn’t disappoint, despite the price. I’d buy it again. Enjoyed the 2018 vintage with NY steak and mashed potatoes.

Primarily Cabernet Sauvignon (83%) with some additional Bordeaux varieties blended in. Intense dark aromas of black cherry/raspberry, chocolate “, violets and figs. Pallet is a nice combination of red/blue/black berry and plum fruit with hints of fresh herbs, exotic spices and vanilla. Smooth and silky tannins balanced by bright acidity. Long finish.
