CRITICAL ACCLAIM
Wilfred Wong - "The 2022 Duckhorn Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a masterful expression of winemaking precision and vineyard selection. Under the guidance of winemaker Renée Ary, this wine showcases fruit from premier sites across St. Helena, Rutherford, Oakville, and Calistoga. Aged for 16 months in French oak barrels (50% new), it reveals layers of crushed blackberries, cassis, and warm oak spice. With a TA of 0.58 g/100 ml and a pH of 3.79, the wine maintains vibrancy and structure. Elegant yet powerful, it pairs beautifully with grilled tri-tip steaks." 
James Suckling - "Bright and refined with aromas of blackberries, cassis, fresh tobacco, crushed stones and dark chocolate. The palate is full-bodied and polished with fine tannins and vibrant fruit. Defined and balanced with a touch of minerality."
