Solid bottle of wine, drinking perfectly right now, lots of merlot taste in this blend but that is what Duckhorn does best. Very smooth Bordeaux style wine from Napa.

Keep that drinking window open. This is drinking perfectly now and shows no signs of tipping over. Elegant nose, rich, full flavors and medium long finish.

I am not sure if I'd was a bad bottle but it had a very distict burnt rubber like quality. I can understand the Bordeaux analogy but I still did not appreicate this effort.

We were quite happy with this wine. Oddly enough, this California bordeaux style blend could easily be mistaken for an old world bordeaux. Doesn't quite have the nose yet but the flavors and texture are all in place.

Little noticeable fruit. Not very complex but enjoyable. Nothing wrong with this wine at all. A bit thin but the very dry, palate coating finish makes up for any other shortcomings. If I could find it, I would buy again it again.

Plush, lush and velvet. Very nice fruit concentration with an eye opening luxurious mouthfeel. I'll be looking for more. Cab 53%, Merlot 26%, Franc 21%.

Nice sipping wine. Not too Jammy but not very refined. Good with spicy food, no tannins. Just a nice wine. Paid 27 for it originally.

Nice table wine. For a "value" wine, it's a winner. Complex in nature. Taste was interesting, a tad bitter. Could use some oxygen.

Way better than the last one we opened. Great fruit, highly aromatic. Well balanced. Not great, but really good with gourmet pizza

Dissapointed. Quite fruity but lacked complexity. Not worth the price, tho have liked this previously.

Very smooth, with cherry, plum and mulberry flavors. A lovely core of fruit bodes well for an outstanding wine in 2-3 years time.
