Duke of Bourbon: E-mail Specials

Cheers! from the Duke of Bourbon

We are thrilled to announce the release of a fabulous new wine from Duckhorn Vineyards - 2006 The Discussion, an Estate Grown Napa Valley Red Wine. It is a beautifully crafted wine that all of our DUKE customers should be excited to purchase to enjoy drinking now or age for a decade or more.

We just tasted this beauty and our staff unanimously voted it a winner! It is absolutely stunning in its aroma, mouthfeel and flavor. It reminds us of a great Bordeaux wine in its youth . . . and it should, considering it is a blend of Duckhorn's finest estate lots. The cuvée consists of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot.

Duckhorn Vineyards describes their first release of The Discussion as follows:

" A seamless blend of grapes from the most distinct and coveted lots in our Estate portfolio, this wine represents the pinnacle of Duckhorn Vineyards winemaking. Crafted to accentuate grace and harmony as opposed to overt power, this complex, elegant wine offers a broad, lush mid-palate, silky tannins, focused fruit and a long, lingering finish. From its nuanced aromatics of black cherry, dark chocolate, orange peel, cedar and cinnamon to its rich and sophisticated flavors of raspberry truffles, cassis, blackberry, olive and herbs, this wine sets a new benchmark for Duckhorn Vineyards winemaking. "

We are offering the strikingly packaged 2006 The Discussion at $115.00 per bottle, $675.00 per six-pack. This first vintage is extremely limited in supply, so we recommend all of you collectors to act promptly. You do not want to miss this soon-to-be California First Growth wine!
