The 2014 Canvasback Cabernet is a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 2% Malbec, and 2% Cabernet Franc which was aged for 18 months in 99% French oak (60% new) prior to bottling. This wonderful Cabernet is made by Duckhorn, who have sourced Bordeaux varietals from Red Mountain. This wine opens with aromas of blackberry cobbler, black cherry, eucalyptus and sagebrush accents. The palate is plush, currently showing ripe flavors of boysenberry jam, black olive, black cherry pie and suggestions of milk chocolate. The lush mouthfeel and silky texture shine through.
