The 2022 Duckhorn “Canvasback” Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is a striking Washington State wine that showcases the power and elegance of the Red Mountain AVA. Composed of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon with small additions of Merlot, Syrah, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc, it was aged for 19 months in 100% French oak, 35% of which was new. The wine opens with a vibrant bouquet of raspberry, damson plum, and wild sage, accented by notes of sarsaparilla and cherry cola. On the palate, it delivers concentrated flavors of dark cherry and plum, supported by shapely tannins and a polished mouthfeel. Earthy undertones, spice, and hints of tea leaf add complexity, leading to a plush, lingering finish. With a 92-point rating from critics like James Suckling and IntoWine, this vintage is praised for its structure, depth, and value. Ideal food pairings include grilled steak, lamb sugo with pappardelle, or roasted root vegetables, all of which complement the wine’s bold fruit and savory character.
