2008 Cabernet Sauvignon
Diamond Mountain District, Napa Valley

$68.00 per bottle, only 201 cases produced

Tasting notes from Julie Sevenich,
Wine Writer; Candidate, Master of Wine:

“Deep, dark opaque red. Aromas of black cherry and cassis mingle with nuances of juniper and cedar. The abundant tannins are ripe and very fine-grained and still require a little time to soften. Vibrant, well-integrated acid highlights the fruit. The finish is long and complex with juicy fruit, spice and dark, smoky minerals.”

2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Currently sold out– Library only)
Diamond Mountain District, Napa Valley

$48.00 per bottle

Tasting notes from Ronn Wiegand,
Master of Wine, Master Sommelier of Restaurant Wines:

“Diamond Mountain is I think the most underrated mountain AVA in Napa Valley. This 2007, the debut release from a tiny Diamond Mountain producer, is excellent, and a fine value. It is elegant and complex in style; a full bodied, lightly oaky, medium rich Cabernet, which is very long on the palate, and finishes with a flourish of aromas and flavors reminiscent of black cherry, violet, cassis, cedar, and spicy oak. It will drink well over the next five to ten years. Fine debut release.”

Tasting notes (2007) from
“Back Room Wines,”
A Rising Wine Star

From a 1.1 acre vineyard near Diamond Creek.
Just a whiff of mountain spice, cedar and meat.
First & foremost about the black, juicy berry fruits.
Creamy and rich in the mouth with mulberry,
kirsch & cocoa/mocha flavors. Softer tannins
make it enjoyable now.
First release, just 168 cases made.
