Duckhorn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 Review
Dan and Margaret Duckhorn founded Duckhorn Vineyards in 1976 as one of the first forty wineries in Napa Valley. They began with Merlot and took a very strategic approach to expand their brand bringing on board different varietal wines when they knew it was time. Being in Napa, of course Duckhorn started working with Cab, which has since become one of its signature wines. The nose has red and blue fruits with a good dose of oak. The palate has good acidity and grippy tannins that frame the wine.
