Duckhorn The Discussion 2018

A complex medley of brambly red currants, black raspberry, fig compote & rose petals grace the nose. The palate is supple and velvety with powdery tannins bolstering age-ability. Extended barrel aging yields wonderful complexity with hints of toasted hazelnut, cocoa powder and nutmeg.

94 Points - James Suckling

A deep but scented nose, with an attractive gravel note added to the aroma profile of blueberries, cassis and plums. Full-bodied and tight on the palate, showing well-crafted tannins that are tight and supportive to the juicy berries and plush oak spices. Long and layered finish.

91 Points - Wine Spectator

Lively, with generous cassis bush and sassafras notes leading the way for friendly, polished cassis, plum puree and cherry preserves, with cedar toast asserting itself on the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now.
