Tasting notes
Made by Thomas Rivers Brown, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Diamond Mountain District comes from a mountain terroir in the northern part of the valley and was raised in French oak. It's a classic representation of the wines from this region and has powerful red and black currant fruits as well as loamy soil, tobacco, cedar pencil, and hints of violets. Rich, full-bodied, and expansive on the palate, it has velvety tannins, beautiful mid-palate depth and a great finish. It's brilliant, classic 2019 that will evolve for two decades.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is exceptional. In fact, the 2019 is one of the best editions of this wine in recent memory. A rush of blackberry jam, cloves, licorice, menthol, lavender and espresso hits the palate. Plush and deep, with plenty of structure, the 2019 is a great example of Diamond Mountain Cabernet done in an unapologetically flamboyant style.
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon bursts with intense black and red cherries, boysenberries and warm cassis notes, plus wafts of cedar, pencil lead, wild sage and truffles. The palate is medium to full-bodied with tightly knit, fine-grained tannins and lovely freshness supporting the muscular fruit, finishing long and minerally.
