Duckhorn Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Patzimaro Vineyard 2021 Review
Duckhorn is part of the fabric of Napa Valley wine. And though the winery has grown extensively, it hasn’t forgotten its roots. This wine is from the Patzimaro Vineyard, which is named after a family that was part of the Duckhorn team and worked with this land. It starts off a bit shy, but as it opens, the wine peels off another layer every 15 minutes or so. The nose is subtle with hints of wild berries, earthy forest floor, and green pepper. The palate is seamless, a harmony of fruit and tannin existing in tandem. An absolutely beautiful wine.
