The Discussion 2019 - Duckhorn Vineyards

Over four decades ago, the Duckhorns and their winemaker had a passionate discussion at the kitchen table. Although they debated the production of a cuvée, they decided to focus on single-variety wines or wines with only a small proportion of other grape varieties. Nevertheless, the Duckhorns were always fascinated by the artful blend of grape varieties from different Napa Valley vineyards and this is how this exceptional wine was created. The Discussion embodies the depth and complexity of a world-class estate program. The cuvée, composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot from no less than 6 of Duckhorn Vineyards's best locations, is rich and deeply complex. Tempting aromas of black cherry, red currants and rose petals blend with sophisticated notes of hazelnut, clove, caramel and dried figs. On the palate, these aromas are reflected, paired with juicy plums, blueberries, dark chocolate, licorice and a touch of mint, coated with elegantly structured tannins. A great, long-lasting wine and the perfect accompaniment for exciting conversations and stimulating discussions.
