The Duckhorn Portfolio, Inc. announced that it has entered into expanded distribution agreements with Johnson Brothers. The Company's entry into these agreements is the second phase of a comprehensive strategic evaluation of its wholesale distribution network across the United States, with the goal of driving the profitable growth of the Company's sales through a substantial increase in focus and investment in the wholesale channel. It is expected that Johnson Brothers will begin distribution of The Duckhorn Portfolio's wines in their new territory later this summer.

Recognized as a premier pure-play producer of luxury wine in the United States, The Duckhorn Portfolio includes eleven acclaimed winery brands: Duckhorn Vineyards, Decoy, Sonoma-Cutrer, Kosta Browne, Goldeneye, Paraduxx, Calera, Migration, Postmark, Canvasback and Greenwing. While the Company has worked with Johnson Brothers in Iowa and West Virginia, the Company's distributor agreements and new alignment will expand the scope of their relationship. When the transition of territories is complete, the distribution of some or all of the Company's winery brands will be handled by Johnson Brothers in: Hawaii, Iowa and West Virginia.
