About this bottle
The Discussion is Duckhorn Vineyards' flagship red, a Bordeaux-style blend built primarily around Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon from the winery's Napa Valley and St. Helena estate vineyards. It's made to showcase Duckhorn's most complete parcels in a given vintage, so the blend composition shifts slightly year to year based on what performed best. Expect dark fruit — blackberry, black currant — layered with cocoa, dried herb, and a polished, fine-grained tannin structure built for extended cellaring. This is a serious, collector-oriented bottle rather than an everyday pour, priced and positioned accordingly.
How to drink The Discussion
Decant it for at least an hour before serving — a young vintage like 2018 benefits from air to soften the tannins. It's built for a proper dinner, pairing best with braised short rib or a well-marbled steak that can stand up to its structure.
