RATINGS

96Robert M. Parker Jr.

Displays the saturated black purple color from this site. Offering an incredible nose of volcanic ash, charcoal embers, blackberry, cassis and spice, dense, superb, full body, and a multi-layered richness, this wine is just sensational.

96Jeb Dunnuck

...most approachable, sexy and opulent of the 2014s and offers a gorgeous perfume of red and black currants, Asian spices, sandalwood, and white chocolate. This is a ripe, huge wine, yet it stays beautifully balanced and elegant, with no weight or rusticity, and it picks up a beautiful minerality with time in the glass. It's already impossible to resist yet is going to keep for three decades. (December 2017)

91Vinous / IWC

Medium in body, the 2014 is a bit light in structure and overall intensity.... Graphite, game, smoke and incense infuse the expressive finish.

REGION

United States, California, Napa Valley, Diamond Mountain

Diamond Mountain District AVA is in the Mayacamas Mountains at the northwestern end of Napa Valley. The appellation is relatively high and the entire district is more than 400 feet above sea level. Some vineyards are as high as 2,200 feet above sea level. Because of their altitude, Diamond Mountain vineyards experience warmer days but colder nights than vineyards on the valley floor. Once volcanic soil, the terrain in the appellation has over time become less fertile, making grape growing particularly challenging. Nevertheless the district has attracted wine producers for more than a century. There are 500 vineyard acres out of a total of 5,000 acres. Among the highly regarded wineries here are Lokoya Winery, Diamond Creek Vineyards and Schramsberg Vineyards. Diamond Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc are generally firmly structured, rich and quite tannic. Chardonnay is full-bodied with apple and peach aromas and firm acidity.

TYPE

Red Wine, Cabernet Sauvignon

One of the most widely grown grape varieties, it can be found in nearly every wine growing region. A cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. It’s a hardy vine that produces a full-bodied wine with high tannins and great aging potential.
