Duckhorn The Discussion 2019 750ml

Bordeaux Red Blends from Napa Valley, California

Notes from the Winemaker

The exceptional 2019 growing season yielded a profoundly elegant and complex expression of The Discussion, with luxurious layers of black plum, red currant and raspberry. As it evolves in the glass, hints of cedar, sweet baking spices and cocoa nibs emerge on the generous palate, gliding across velvety tannins to a lively and dramatic finish.

Blend: 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 1% Malbec, 1% Cabernet Franc

Reviews and Accolades

96 Points/James Suckling
Currants, herbs and fresh tobacco with shaved lead pencil. Black berries. Medium to full body with creamy tannins and a juicy finish. Just a hint of oak. Rich and long with lots going on. Plenty of flavor.

92 Points/Jeb Dunnuck
The 2019 The Discussion brings another level of refinement and elegance, with pure red and blackcurrant fruits supported by leafy herbs, coffee, and charred oak-like aromas and flavors, with a slightly herbal undertone. It's medium to full-bodied, has a supple, elegant mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and outstanding length. Drink bottles over the coming 10-12+ years or so.
