The Duckhorn Portfolio, Inc.
Duckhorn didn’t just survive the “Sideways effect” — they thrived through it, because their Merlot was always too good to be dismissed. The 2021 vintage is a textbook example of why Napa Merlot deserves its place at the table: lush and approachable, but with enough Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend (22%) to provide structure and aging potential. This is the bottle that changes minds about Merlot.
