A combination from two sites, the 2019 Diamond Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is another elegant, yet concentrated, structured, and expansive Cabernet from Chris that shines on all accounts. Crème de cassis, black raspberries, graphite, scorched earth, and some floral notes all define the nose, and it’s full-bodied on the palate, with terrific purity, building, ripe tannins, bright acidity, and an undeniable sense of minerality on the finish. This rich, concentrated, structured 2019 warrants 5-6 years of bottle age and will be incredibly long lived.

The 2019 Diamond Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon comes mainly from the Wallis Vineyard, located at around 1,100 feet and consisting of gravelly loam. Deep garnet-purple in color, it is fairly closed to start off, soon revealing earthy scents of truffles, crushed rocks, and forest floor over a core of cassis and blackberry preserves plus a hint of tar. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is firmly structured with ripe, grainy tannins and stunning freshness supporting the tightly wound fruit, finishing long and savory. 968 cases were made. Drink 2024-2045

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Diamond Mountain is a blend of two parcels: Wallis and Rhyolite Ridge, with mainly volcanic soils. Scents of crushed stone, pencil shavings, cassis and cherries lead the way, while the palate is full-bodied but not overly ripe or broad, just finely honed, polished, silky and long, with a dusting of fine-grained tannins on the finish. Drink 2024-2040
