The Duckhorn Portfolio stands as a premier producer of luxury wines, specializing in varietal and blended reds, whites, rosés, and sparklings sourced from top vineyards in California and Washington State. It all started when Dan and Margaret Duckhorn founded Duckhorn Vineyards in Napa Valley, kicking off with a bold focus on Merlot that helped put American versions on the map. What's neat is how they've grown from that single winery into a collection of acclaimed brands, snagging top awards like Wine of the Year from critics, all while sticking to estate-grown grapes and innovative blending, turning a family passion into a global sip sensation.
These vintners blend wokeness into their barrels with hefty ESG reports that tout sustainability and social good, plus DEI programs pushing for equity and inclusion, because why not virtue-signal with your vintage? They've got strong gender diversity in leadership, back community funds for disadvantaged groups hinting at racial equity, and even throw Pride parties with donations to LGBTQ causes, who says Cabernet can't come with a rainbow chaser?
