Donated By: Rodney Strong and The Duckhorn Portfolio
Estimated Value: $680

Rodney Strong Vineyards and Duckhorn Vineyards would appear to have little in common, one being in Napa Valley and the other in Sonoma County. Yet both make reds in a forward, generous style. These grand format bottles are just right for large gatherings with a plentitude of food choices. The 2017, Double Magnum (3-Liter) of Rodney Strong Symmetry Alexander Valley Red Wine is an elegant Bordeaux-inspired red of impressive depth. The Magnum (1.5-Liter) of 2022 Duckhorn Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon shows refined fruit and warm spice notes. The Magnum (1.5-Liter) of 2018 Duckhorn Napa Valley Merlot is deeply fruited, vibrant and silky.
