California winery at HOME IN WASHINGTON

摘要

If there's a new frontier for luxury Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, the owners of California's Duckhorn Wine Company think they've found it. (Hint, it's in Washington, not Napa Valley.) Dan and Margaret Duckhorn, founders of Duckhorn Vineyards and Duckhorn Wine Company, are known within the industry for their pioneering spirit. When they established Duckhorn Vineyards, one of the first 40 wineries in Napa Valley in the mid-1970s, they focused onmaking Merlot wine famous in the middle of Cabernet Sauvignon country. They launched Paraduxx Winery in 1994, the only winery at the time dedicated solely to nontraditional, non-Bordeaux style red blend wines, and, in 1996, began Goldeneye Winery to makePinot Noir wines from California's Anderson Valley, years before the Pinot Noir boom.
