This beautiful wine, known for its full, rich character combined with elegant and vibrant nuances, is a prime example of how the sunny days, cool nights, and poor, dry soil of Columbia Valley contribute to a sublime balance in the grapes. This results in wines with ripe, lush notes, soft tannins, and a refreshing freshness. Greenwing's Cabernet Sauvignon is complemented by Syrah and Malbec grapes, creating a harmonious blend that reflects the valley's diversity.
The Excellent Quality of Greenwing Cabernet Sauvignon
Duckhorn Vineyards was founded in 1976 by Dan and Margaret Duckhorn in Napa Valley and has built a strong reputation. Craftsmanship and quality are paramount, and this is reflected in the diverse portfolio of wines that reflect Napa Valley's unique terroir. The winery uses carefully selected grapes from various vineyards to produce wines of consistently high quality.
The grapes are planted in various vineyards throughout the valley, allowing each to develop in its own unique way. The grapes are harvested early, around September and October, when they are at their peak ripeness. They are then brought to the winery, where a rigorous selection process takes place. Only the very best are good enough. After pressing, a temperature-controlled fermentation follows. Finally, the wine is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, resulting in a rich, deep, and smooth wine.
The Refined Taste of Greenwing Cabernet Sauvignon
The Greenwing Cabernet Sauvignon is a true symphony of aromas and flavors. On the nose, this wine welcomes you with enticing aromas of raspberry, ripe strawberry, cherry, wild blossom, and hints of sage. These aromas flow seamlessly into a soft and seductive palate with juicy notes of red berries, plums, and cherry pie, enriched with subtle spices. Thanks to the oak aging, the wine has acquired subtle vanilla notes and results in a long, harmonious finish.
