Duckhorn 2016 "The Discussion" Proprietary Red, Napa Valley
$ 134.99
A limited new proprietary red from Duckhorn.
Over three 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.
The Discussion was blended using the very best barrels of wine from the finest blocks of our estate vineyards. While this wine is abundantly rich and flavorful, it is defined by its refinement and complexity. Aromas of licorice, graphite, blackberry, violet and French thyme offer a beautiful prelude to an opulent mouthfeel marked by pure, focused flavors of Bing cherry and spiced plum, as well as silky tannins. These tannins, and seamlessly integrated oak, provide lovely structure, adding depth and nuance to this age-worthy wine.Â

Duckhorn 2018 Migration Pinot Noir, Anderson Valley
$ 39.99
One of our Best Buys in California Pinot Noir from Duckhorn!
Migration pinot noir is Goldeneye's second label; made with some of the same great fruit that goes into the Goldeneye blends. Red fruit aromas—strawberry, raspberry and Bing cherry— create the scaffolding for this wine, which is also touched by pennyroyal mint, purple flowers and hints of oak. On the attack, sweet spice and the same pennyroyal mint open up to plummy mid-palate fruit framed by cola, forest floor and earthy mushrooms. Distinctive, affordable and tasty.
90 Points Wine Enthusast: ""A lovely, polished wine, the second label of Goldeneye. It doesn’t have the impact of the main wines, but it does share in their structural brilliance. Dry and silky, it has alluring flavors of cherries, cola, mocha and spices."

Delicious black-cherry and currant notes come out in the bouquet, weave through the palate and linger on the finish."
Gowan Creek is the home to Goldeneye's new winery and offers a perfect mid-valley winegrowing location that combines warmer Anderson Valley elements with coastal fog and cooling influences from the northern end of the valley. As a result, this wine is a classic expression of Pinot Noir, with signature aromatics, lush extraction and rich texture. The nose displays the wild blueberry and blackberry layers that have come to define Gowan Creek, supported by notes of loganberry, char, black pepper and dried meats.

Paraduxx from Duckhorn is one of the more interesting blends out of California. Don't miss this delicious blend of Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot & Cabernet Franc.
93 Points James Suckling: "Extremely floral and beautiful with crushed-raspberry and rose-petal aromas. Medium body, super-integrated tannins and a fine texture. It's tight and focused. Drinkable now but will be better in two or three years."
94 points Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine : "This deep, impressively extracted version of this perennial favorite marries well-defined blackberry fruit with a layer of ripe currants, a good dose of sweet oak and touches of milk chocolate. Its sense of layered richness and its accents of sweet earth speak to classic Napa Valley character, and, thanks to its provenance, its unique mix of grapes and the attention that the Duckhorn folks pay to it, it continues to be a more sophisticated wine than Zinfandel typically yields."
