Characteristics:
Ruby in colour with a purple rim. Warm and inviting, it has notes of red currant, cassis, ripe plum, cardamom and toffee. There’s depth and weight on the palate—a harmonious intensity. 95% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, with a splash of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. This wine has a long and beautiful finish, and its fine tannins will provide drinking pleasure through 2043 with proper cellaring. Matured in 50% new American oak for 24 months.
Food pairing:
Combine with red meat: beef, lamb, venison, accompanied by flavourful sauces. Can be enjoyed on its own as a meditation wine.
About the winery:
Super premium Cabernet Sauvignon! Raymond Twomey Duncan, a Colorado entrepreneur, invested in California vineyards in 1960. Together with wine maker Justin Meyer, he made his "maiden vintage" in a barn in the Napa Valley in 1972, producing only 1,100 crates. Today, wine maker Daniel Baron makes the finest red cuvée, in collaboration with the Duncan family.
