Established in 1976 by renowned vintners Margaret and Dan Duckhorn, Duckhorn Vineyards is an iconic Napa Valley winery deeply rooted in a rich legacy of tradition. This estate Cabernet Sauvignon is planted on a desirable west-facing hillside vineyard, where its namesake grows among the vines, offering another connection from earth to bottle. It is a testament to the artistry and dedication that defines each vintage of our storied history.

Production Notes
Varietal Composition: 100% estate fruit - 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc
Winemaker Notes
Sourced from one of our coolest hillside estate vineyards, this Cabernet Sauvignon tells a story of contrast and harmony, opening with aromas of black plum, hazelnut crumble, blackberries, and fig compote. An ideal balance of warm daytime sun and cool nights yields a dark, concentrated profile, lifted by fresh acidity and layered flavors of black cherry cola, dark chocolate-covered blueberries, and hints of dried tea and thyme. Luscious tannins provide a structured yet polished frame, carrying through to a bright, cheerful finish that highlights the depth and character of our Cork Tree vineyard.
Production
In 2023, heavy winter and spring rains delayed budbreak and set the stage for one of the latest vintages in decades. Cooler spring temperatures led to an extended flowering period with our team applying post-veraison thinning to achieve a balanced crop. As the season progressed, temperatures remained below average, which provided additional hangtime but required extra patience. Our patience paid off, with 2023 offering one of our most unique and rewarding vintages to date! Semillon harvest began on August 28th with Sauvignon Blanc soon following. With no significant heat events, the grapes were able to ripen beautifully. Harvest concluded on November 9th with Cabernet Sauvignon from Oak Knoll and Howell Mountain. Our 2023 whites are crisp, with ideal flavor development and bright acids, and the reds are pure, supple and balanced, with vibrant acidity, fresh flavors, and intense colors.
