RED MOUNTAIN

In 2012, building on our 35-year history of making globally acclaimed Cabernet Sauvignons, Duckhorn came to Washington State's Red Mountain to make our debut Canvasback Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon. Though Red Mountain is one of the smallest appellations in Washington State, it is one of the most widely renowned. With ideal soils, a perfect sloping southwestern exposure, and a dry desert climate, Red Mountain has done more than just establish itself as perhaps the finest region in Washington for growing Cabernet Sauvignon; it is rapidly earning a reputation for producing some of the most compelling and distinctive Cabernet Sauvignons in the New World. Today, Canvasback is guided by Washington native and Red Mountain expert, Brian Rudin, who works alongside famed vineyard manager Dick Boushey to oversee our Longwinds Estate Vineyard
