WINE DESCRIPTION

The Duckhorn Postmark is an excellent example of the power and finesse that California Cabernet Sauvignon can bring to the glass. With an intense ruby color, this wine explodes with aromas of blackberry, cassis and dried herbs. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and lush, with ripe tannins that provide a pleasing structure and a long, velvety finish. Its flavors of black cherry, licorice, and hints of oak are balanced by juicy acidity. Enjoy this remarkable Cabernet Sauvignon with slow-roasted beef, grilled portobello mushrooms, or a cheese plate.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The Duckhorn Postmark Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied and robust wine with a deep ruby color.On the nose, aromas of ripe plums, cassis, and blackberry mingle with a hint of toasted oak. On the palate, flavors of black cherry, blueberry, and cocoa linger, with a hint of smokiness and a long, smooth finish. This is an excellent example of a classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.

ORIGINS

Winery: Duckhorn

Region: Central Coast California

The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States. The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.
