Duckhorn Vineyards Oakville Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 Review
The Duckhorn family was part of the fabric that wove Napa Valley into existence. They came onto the scene in 1976, showcasing Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Now, 50 years later, its wine still commands attention. This Oakville expression brings bright blueberry and raspberry notes with the slightest hint of oak. The palate is full-bodied at 14.5 percent ABV, with firm tannins. If you pop this powerful bottle now, we suggest letting it open up in a decanter, otherwise it can benefit from some more time in the bottle.
