Duckhorn Vineyards The Discussion Napa Valley Red Wine 2021 Review
Duckhorn is a household name in the world of American wine. It was a pioneer in Napa Valley Merlot, so it only makes sense that Duckhorn’s red blend is just as deep and opulent as its other offerings. The majority of this wine is Cabernet Sauvignon, with some Merlot and a touch of Malbec. It has deep red and blue fruit on the nose along with well-integrated oak that’s part of the fabric of the wine. The palate has boundless depth. It’s powerful while at the same time calm and focused with great acidity and a lingering finish.
