Characteristics:
Ruby in colour with notes of strawberry, fresh carnation, black pepper and vanilla. This wine builds in strength and body across the mid-palate with a blackberry character on the finish and bright cherry return. With integrated tannins, it’s expressive yet luxurious with an even, balanced finish. 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot and a splash of Malbec. Given proper cellaring conditions, this wine will show beautifully through 2043.
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.
