The Canvasback Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon: Washington Elegance

Hailing from the prestigious Red Mountain AVA in Washington State, the Canvasback Cabernet Sauvignon is an exceptional red wine from the renowned Duckhorn Portfolio. This bottling captures the intense, concentrated fruit profile characteristic of the region's arid, sun-exposed slopes, delivering a wine that is both powerful and luxuriously refined.

Tasting Notes & Structure

This deep ruby wine offers a sophisticated and evolving experience:

• Nose: Rich aromas of dark cherry, grenadine, and plum lead the way, complemented by complex undertones of cocoa, leather, sarsaparilla, and a hint of sagebrush and baking spice.
• Palate: Full and generous, the palate is underscored by silky, well-integrated tannins that provide excellent structure without being aggressive. Concentrated dark fruit flavours persist through a long, mineral-driven finish, showcasing the wine's poise and depth.

Food Pairing & Service

We recommend serving this wine at 16-18°C (60-65°F) after a brief decant.

• Dedicated Pairings: Its firm structure and dark fruit notes make it a superb accompaniment to hearty, traditional British fare and game dishes.
• Appellation Insight: Red Mountain is Washington's smallest AVA but is globally recognised for producing some of the New World's most structured and age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon.
