90 Points Wine Spectator

 In terms of overall weather, most of the 2020 growing season was excellent. Following a relatively dry winter, budbreak started early, and the temperatures throughout spring and summer were mild and temperate. This allowed the grapes to ripen slowly, developing pure, vibrant flavors and supple, fleshy textures. In late September, harvest was impacted by the outbreak of wildfires and the arrival of hot weather. The elevated temperatures gave many vineyards a final push to ripeness as we worked to bring in the grapes. During this period, we did extensive testing to ensure quality, excluding any fruit that did not meet our standards. While our meticulous selection process resulted in a smaller 2020 crop, the wines we produced live up to the Duckhorn name, displaying beautiful aromas, soft elegant textures, lively complexity and lush flavor.

BEER OF THE WEEK

Phase Three

Blue Hour

Vermont-style Double IPA

8% abv


$16.99


Brewer's Notes:

A unique double IPA, this one doesn't fit into just one "type". Brewed without wheats & oats, Simcoe and Amarillo hops shine through with a classic English yeast character. Notes of bright orange marmalade, sticky sap, stone fruit, and a squeeze of juicy grapefruit flavors are balanced with a firm bitterness. Juicy & dank - West Coast vibes with a Northeast hazy flare.
