RATINGS

95Jeb Dunnuck

Crème de cassis, cedar pencil, spring flowers and high-class oak notes all emerge from this full-bodied, rich, gorgeously concentrated and pure Cabernet Sauvignon that has great tannin quality and seriously good balance.

93The Wine Advocate

...richer and more lavish, opening in the glass with notes of black cherries and dark chocolate. On the palate, it's full-bodied, broad and expansive, with ripe tannins and an ample core of fruit...

93James Suckling

This delivers a big serving of ripe and succulent cassis as well as blackberries in terms of aromas and flavors. It’s matched by spicy oak, which adds a soft, vanillin edge. The palate has a dense, plummy core with dark chocolate undertones, supported by long, sturdy tannins.

92+ Stephen Tanzer

Aromas of blackcurrant, black cherry, blueberry, licorice and menthol... Plush, smooth and sweet, with glossy, almost Napa Valley-like dark berry flavors complicated by an herbal hint of pyrazines... Finishes with serious broad tannins that bathe the palate on the long, linear aftertaste.

PRODUCER

Duckhorn Vineyards

Duckhorn Vineyards was founded in 1976 in St. Helena, in the Napa Valley. It was started by Dan and Margaret Duckhorn after Dan, a California native, toured the Bordeaux region of France in the 1970s. In 2007 a private equity firm took a significant ownership interest in Duckhorn, though Dan Duckhorn remains in charge of the estate. The winemaker is Renee Ary. The 229-acre estate is known for its big Cabernet Sauvignons and Merlots. Duckhorn was one of the first California producers to champion Merlot, and its Merlots are still highly regarded although today the estate also makes Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet France and Semillon. About 75,000 cases are produced annually. Robert M. Parker has written that Duckhorn has “a very positive style that represents a hypothetical blend of the ripeness of Napa allied with the elegance of a top Bordeaux.”

REGION

United States, Washington, Yakima Valley, Red Mountain

Yakima Valley AVA was the first AVA created in Washington State. The valley, a 600,000-acre area in south central Washington, was granted AVA status in 1983. In 1984 Columbia Valley was given AVA status, and Yakima Valley was enclosed within the Columbia Valley AVA. Nevertheless, Yakima Valley remains home to the largest concentration of vineyards and wineries in the state. There are more than 60 wineries and some 16,000 vineyard acres, and nearly 40% of Washington wines are made with Yakima Valley grapes. The most frequently planted grape is Chardonnay, followed by Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Winemaking here dates to 1869, when a winemaker from Alsace planted grape vines. Vineyard planting and wine production plodded along slowly until the early 1980s when numerous modern pioneers started making well-reviewed Yakima Valley wines. Some of the state’s newest, most closely watched appellations, including Red Mountain AVA and Horse Heaven Hills AVA, are contained within Yakima Valley.

TYPE

Red Wine, Cabernet Sauvignon

One of the most widely grown grape varieties, it can be found in nearly every wine growing region. A cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. It’s a hardy vine that produces a full-bodied wine with high tannins and great aging potential.
