Duckhorn is a great winery, the Cabernets and Merlots are fabulous and as good as any you will find. However I think they have a bit to learn about making Pinot Noir. The winery tasting note says, “This wine is smooth and well-balanced with bright acidity and soft fruit tannins”. I would say the acidity is overpowering, whatever fruit flavor is in there is behind a wall of acid. It is possible that this wine could soften up in a few years, but I seriously doubt it. Another proof that expensive wine is not always good wine.
