2021 Duckhorn Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Monitor Ledge Vineyard


Varietal Composition: 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Petit Verdot, 2% Merlot

Monitor Ledge is named for an outcropping of rock in the mountains overlooking the vineyard and has been an important component of Duckhorn Vineyards wine blends since 1985. Located on the alluvial fan of Selby Creek and featuring lean, well-draining soils that force the small berry-producing vines to struggle, Monitor Ledge benefits from excellent sun exposure that consistently produces ideal ripening. This unique wine displays exceptional intensity and structure alongside rich dark berry elements and complex barrel flavors.

Winemaker Notes

This lush and alluring Cabernet Sauvignon beckons with soaring aromas blackberry jam, boysenberry, dark chocolate, graham cracker and fresh-baked blueberry pie. On the palate it carries its weight with a velvety elegance that accentuates the luxurious dark berry flavors, with fine powdery tannins and notions of allspice and black tea adding to a long, complex finish.
