Duckhorn Wine Company Canvasback Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 750ml

Cocoa powder, wild berries, walnuts and graphite on the nose. It’s focused and sleek, with a medium to full body and tight-knit tannins that run the length of the wine. Long and savory. 86% cabernet sauvignon, 5% merlot, 5% syrah, 3% malbec and 1% cabernet franc. Drink from 2026.

This is a focused cabernet that has ripe plums, blackberries, tea leaves and dark chocolate on the nose. It’s medium- to full-bodied with fine-grained tannins and a nicely linear and balanced finish. Drink or hold.

Bright cassis, plums, spicy oak, and chocolate notes all emerge from the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Red Mountain, a nicely textured, medium to full-bodied blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, and 2% Malbec. It's a ripe, nicely oaked, balanced, impressive Cabernet Sauvignon to drink over the coming 10-12 years.

Imagine black cherries and a cedar box that once housed Punch Gran Puro cigars. That's how this wine makes its aromatic introduction. Then the medium-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon delivers black-fruit flavor to go with dark-chocolate and balsa notes. Modest acidity is joined by grippy tannins, so prepare to decant.
