Score 89/100 · Drink 2010-2018, Robert Parker, Feb 2010
An innovative blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2006 Duel is composed of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Shiraz. Its deep ruby/purple color is followed by a big, sweet kiss of blackberries, cassis, pepper, and subtle spice. Medium-bodied with silky tannins, a seductive style, and good succulence as well as flesh, it should drink well for 7-8 years. Tel. (707) 257-2345
