Tasting notes
Three different clones of Cabernet Sauvignon (7, 169, 337) went into the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Lazy Susan Ranch, another low-cropping site (1.75 tons per acre) on Diamond Mountain. There's nary a note of green here, just perfectly ripe black cherries and cassis, framed by cedary, slightly smoky oak (it spent 20 months in 100% new Taransaud and Darnajou barrels). Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, with a long, velvety finish, this is another solid, age-worthy effort from The Vineyardist.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Lazy Susan Ranch is a full-bodied, opulent, incredibly sexy Diamond Mountain red offering up some classic mountain minerality as well as notes of ripe darker cherry and currant fruits, some spicy, vanilla oak, ripe, supple tannins, and a great finish. It’s a gorgeous wine that should easily evolve for two decades.
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Lazy Susan Ranch is a blend of grapes from younger vines and barrels that don’t go into the top bottlings. A dark, seductive wine, the Lazy Susan is supple, racy and so hugely appealing. Soft contours and silky tannins add to its immediacy. It is an especially alluring young Cabernet for a young mountain wine.
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Lazy Susan Ranch is outrageously beautiful. An explosion of bright red fruit, mocha, spice, blood orange and rose petal is attention grabbing, to say the least. Supple and silky, the Lazy Susan Ranch is a wine of pure, total seduction. The 2019 is already so appealing. It's hard to imagine where it might go from here. In a word: stunning!
