Accolades
2007 Duckhorn Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley
"Duckhorn has been remarkably consistent with this bottling - The '07 is right up there, a sweetly oaked, leesy wine whose citrus and lemongrass flavors are fattened up with the pears and figs of Semillon. The finish is quite dry and rich."

Order Duckhorn Sauvignon Blanc from the Duke for $26.99 per bottle.
2005 Goldeneye Pinot Noir, Anderson Valley
"Rich and distinctive, with complex, concentrated loamy earth, black cherry, wild berry, savory spice and fresh earth scents. The tannins are rich and mouthcoating, yet the fruit pours through." 92 points, Wine Spectator - July 31, 2008.
