"Dark fruits laced with herbs are found in the nose of the 2001 D2 Dixieme Anniversaire. This broad, intensely flavored offering has excellent depth, more power than I’m accustomed to find at this winery, and boasts winemaker Upchurch’s signature elegance. A lovely, ample wine, it reveals loads of wonderfully ripe black fruits in its expressive, lengthy character."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
An aromatic red grape lending perfume, red fruit and a leafy, savory edge. It thrives in the Loire and as a key blending partner in Bordeaux, especially Saint-Emilion.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
