Tasting notes
The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Diamond Mountain exhibits a dense purple color as well as beautiful blackberry fruit notes intermixed with cassis and spring flowers. Rich, unformed and grapy, it is loaded and, I suspect, just needs more time. These wines are more similar than dissimilar at this point even though they come from two totally different mountain regions. There is more tannin and minerality in the Howell Mountain cuvees and the Diamond Mountain offerings show sweeter, richer fruit and plusher mouthfeels. www.diamondterrace.com
