Duckhorn Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 is a rich, polished, and beautifully structured red wine that embodies the character and depth of premier Napa Valley grape sources. It opens with captivating aromas of dark red berries, crushed blackberries, cassis, fresh tobacco, and warm cardamom, framed by subtle accents of oak spice and crushed stone. On the palate, it delivers a full-bodied, fruit-forward core featuring layers of fig jam and boysenberry pie, supported by firm, dusty tannins and a vibrant, well-balanced acidity that leads to a long, persistent finish.
Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with grilled tri-tip steak, prime ribeye, roasted rack of lamb, braised beef short ribs, or aged gouda.

Bright and refined with aromas of blackberries, cassis, fresh tobacco, crushed stones and dark chocolate. The palate is full-bodied and polished with fine tannins and vibrant fruit. Defined and balanced with a touch of minerality.

Bright ruby in the glass. Aromatics of ripe fruits and liqueur continue into flavors of fennel, graphite, and spiced cocoa. Polished tannins are well balanced into a lingering finish.
