When Duckhorn really got serious is when they purchased Kosta Browne for access to some of the best Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the Russian River Valley and then bought Calera for six of the most coveted blocks of Pinot Noir in the whole Central Coast. Immediately, their portfolio became one of California’s best, but one thing was still missing – a great value Cabernet.
Enter Postmark– the final piece de resistance holding the Duckhorn Family back from interstellar domination. Last year’s rendition was made in Napa Valley. I found it an odd choice. There’s a lot of great places in California to grow Cabernet and just about every place is less expensive than the fruit they were getting. It had to have been a losing venture.
But Dan Duckhorn didn’t get to where he is on dumb luck– so after just one vintage, he made a big change that likely corrected the course. For the 2019 vintage, the Duckhorn’s decided that the pick of the litter from inarguably California’s hottest AVA, Paso Robles, beat the pants off their St. Helena & Oak Knoll options.
Who am I to argue? They settled in the home to Daou, Adelaida, and Austin Hope amongst others and got their check books out– picking the perfect vintage to do so.

Fresh and fruity aromas of cherry and strawberry meet with notes of French toast and light herbs on the nose of this bottling. Those juicy fruits come through on the palate as well, with a baked red-cherry flavor that is framed by cigar-box and nutmeg accents.

100 Pts, International Wine Report
“The 2020 Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is truly sensational. It begins with striking aromas of fresh blackberries, blueberries and dark plums that are laced with fresh spring florals, mocha, sweet exotic spices, graphite and gravel nuances all taking shape. The palate is full-bodied and displays a remarkable combination of power and elegance throughout. This is beautifully structured and extremely expressive, as it possesses outstanding depth and concentration all they way through the long, finessed finish. Year after year, the Columbia Valley Cabernet is one of the most impressive wines, and there is no exception here, as it combines all the wonderful qualities of the 2020 vintage from Quilceda Creek into one expression. This is fantastic already and readers will be in for a real treat, as this simply marvelous wine will continue to deliver the goods for years to come.”
#3 Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2021
96 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 95 Points, Wine Spectator
We are one of the very few folks who have Wine Spectator’s #3 Wine of the Year. This is definitely not one to miss. The 2016 vintage showcases this prized vineyard in all its glory; notes of wild black fruit, thyme, mint, eucalyptus, and bay are lifted and enjoyed with the polished tannin and mouthwatering freshness of this wine. Regarded as one of the best vintages in the last few decades, the 2016 Martha’s Vineyard has been aged to perfection for immediate enjoyment at release and will continue to reward for the next 20+ years.

“The 2021 Malbec Reserva, from Vistalba, Lujan de Cuyo, was 60% aged in barrels for 12 months. Purple in color. The nose presents notes of fresh plum and violets, white pepper, strawberry, hints of spice and aromas from the aging process. It’s initially indulgent in the mouth, with good fat, and volume and a velvety texture. The flavors are bold and full-bodied. This 2021 overdelivers at the price.” -Vinous
#24 Wine of the Year (2022), Wine Spectator
92 Points, Wine Spectator – 91 Points, James Suckling
“This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the finish.”
