TASTING NOTES Enticing aromas of blackberry, coffee bean and white pepper introduce the 2005 Duel. Brambly red raspberry flavors mingle with tobacco, chocolate truffle and cassis on a round, and supple, mid-palate. Finely integrated tannins support a long and lingering finish, accented by delicate hints of rose petal, nutmeg and cedar spice. DUEL DISTINCTION Grown in two designated blocks on the Darioush estate in Napa Valley and Oak Knoll, Duel is the idyllic marriage of two distinguished varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. The finished wine offers unique attributes of both varietals; a rich chocolate core and earthy minerality is lent by Cabernet Sauvignon, while Shiraz reveals its inherent exotic spice and ripe red fruit. Approachable in its youth, Duel will continue to age superbly for several years. 14.8% 1 bottle 5/08 WCC
