Lean body, bright mid red fruits, softer minerals, red and pink roeses, decent balance and good acidity.

2012 tasting great. Smooth, currant, milk chocolate and slight spice.

Delicious and a touch more spice relative to the other duckhorn of the night

One of Joanne's fav

Delicious over ice.

2012 - tasted a little hot/burnt. Drinks pretty well but would probably not buy it again.

Not a fave. Too big... thought it was a merlot for a quick second. May mature well

Oaks and bold dark fruit, moderate minerals

Nice can with deep berry flavors. Should hold up well and anxious to taste in 5 to 10. Enjoy paired wit a nice dry rubbed ribeye.
