Duckhorn The Discussion 2016

Duckhorn Vineyards The Discussion Napa Valley Red Wine 2016 is a blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 2.5% Cabernet Franc, and 2.5% Petit Verdot aged in 100% French oak - 18 months in new French oak followed by six months in neutral French oak. This Red Blend has resulted in a vibrant and beautifully layered expression of The Discussion, with a firm, round tannins, alluring berry flavors, and a rich underlying savoriness. Pure, bright aromas of pomegranate, cranberry, and black raspberry rise from the glass, followed by deeper elements of blueberry and cocoa nibs. On the richly structured palate, a lovely creamy quality accentuates the generous fruit flavors, with hints of cedar and sage adding nuance and depth to a lingering black cherry and bittersweet chocolate finish. Enjoy!
