Introduction:
Duckhorn Greenwing Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted from the sun-drenched vineyards of Washington’s Columbia Valley, known for its ideal growing conditions that produce some of North America’s most dynamic Cabernet Sauvignons. This region’s temperature extremes, with warm days and cool nights, allow Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to ripen perfectly, resulting in wines with soaring aromas and tantalizing flavors of plum, black cherry, and wild strawberry. Greenwing Cabernet Sauvignon honors both Duckhorn’s rich history and the winegrowing traditions of Washington, offering a unique and exciting experience.
