Almost four decades ago, before crafting their first vintage, the Duckhorns and their winemaker had a passionate discussion at the kitchen table. Though they debated making a cuvée, they chose to focus on varietal wines. Even so, Duckhorn Vineyards has always remained fascinated by the artful blend of varietals from diverse Napa Valley vineyards. Embodying the depth and complexity of a world-class Estate program, The Discussion represents the pinnacle of the Duckhorn Vineyards portfolio and the ongoing dialogue that defines great winemaking.

Winemaker Notes

A complex medley of brambly red currants, black raspberry, fig compote & rose petals grace the nose. The palate is supple and velvety with powdery tannins bolstering age-ability. Extended barrel aging yields wonderful complexity with hints of toasted hazelnut, cocoa powder and nutmeg.
