2022 Duckhorn - Cabernet Sauvignon Napa (750ml)

This 750ml bottle of the 2022 Duckhorn Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley captures the estate’s enduring Napa power with a refined Bordeaux-inspired edge. Sourcing from premier sub‑appellations—Rutherford, Oakville, St. Helena, and Calistoga—the wine blends 94% Cabernet Sauvignon with small portions of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, a nod to Duckhorn’s Bordeaux-variety heritage. Under winemaker Renée Ary, it spends 16 months aging in French oak barrels, half of which are new, lending structure without overpowering the fruit. At 14.5% ABV, this full‑bodied red is approachable now but built to reward a decade or more in the cellar.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: dark red berries, cassis, and cardamom layered with fresh tobacco, crushed stone, and warm oak spice.
• Palate: flavors of fig jam, boysenberry pie, and blackberry unfold alongside cocoa and cola, framed by firm, dusty tannins.
• Finish: long, polished, and well balanced, delivering both power and finesse.
