2017 Duckhorn Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain Napa Valley

Estate Notes: The nose offers an explosion of dark mountain fruit with decadent aromas of raspberry-filled chocolates, black currant, mulberry and huckleberry jam, as well as more savory notes of cedar and spice. On the palate, firm mountain tannins underscore this wine’s opulence and ageability, framing the blackberry, fig and black currant flavors, with bright underlying acidity providing poise and finesse to the long, layered finish. 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot. Aged a total of 24 months 18 months in new French oak followed by 6 months in neutral barrels
