Aromas of wet stone, gravel and blackcurrant. Full-bodied with fine, velvety tannins. Juicy, bright and fresh. Lovely dark fruit, with gravel and wet-stone notes adding very nice definition. Chocolate finish.-JS

"The 2019 Duckhorn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon is lovely and shows excellent staying power on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine offers beautiful aromas and flavors of ripe cherries, black fruits, and complimentary oak nuances. Try it with a grilled, well-marbled ribeye."

Wine Spectator 90
A ripe, polished and direct style, with cassis, blackberry and red cherry puree gliding through, inlaid with light mocha and vanilla accents through the finish. Drink now through 2028.-WS

Beautifully rich and complex, this wine offers enticing aromas of huckleberry jam, black cherry, and cinnamon spice, with hints of bay leaf, maple and violets. The lush dark berry and sweet baking spice notes are echoed on the palate, where the flavors are framed by a firm underlying structure and fine, dusty tannins that add depth and nuance to a long, robust finish.-Winemaker Notes
