this is by far the most expensive of duckhorn's new releases, but it's not the best to drink now. based on cabernet sauvignon, it's easy to imagine the winemaker singling out the most tannic and concentrated lots, but what you get is, simply, a very tannic wine. there's a gigantic core of blackberry and black currant fruit, but it's hard to appreciate because of the astringency. the suggestion is longterm aging, but there can be no guarantees.
