Product Description
Drink it now or cellar for up to 20 years. It is recommended to decant it for half an hour. Duckhorn is a prestigious Napa Valley winery founded in 1976 by the Duckhorns and has been named several times one of the "Top 100 Wineries" in the world by Wine & Spirits magazine. The estate includes 7 different vineyards spread across Napa's microclimates, producing an excellent range of Bordeaux-style wines. Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon is made from grapes from the prestigious Rutherford sub-appellation in Napa Valley with a small addition of Merlot. The dry winters and mild, temperate climate here allow the grapes to ripen slowly, resulting in aromatic wines with a soft, fleshy character. After vinification, the finished wine is aged in French oak barrels (half of which are new) for 16 months. The result is a wine that fully expresses the Rutherford terroir and the Cabernet style that has made this region famous throughout the world. In the glass, the wine reveals an intense and broad aromatic profile with notes of blackberry, blueberry, forest berries, violet, and sage, followed by mineral and graphite notes. On the palate, it is powerful and full-bodied, rich and concentrated. It has firm and well-integrated tannins, a good mineral vein, and a long finish that recalls notes of pepper. Try it with roast pork chops, beef Wellington or Rib-Eye steak.
