Sourced from noble, battle-tested old vines in the north-west corner of Diamond Mountain District, this is a dense, full-bodied heritage Cabernet with complexity at beginning, middle and end.  The 2022 vintage has delivered a Cabernet of dreadful power, with expansive dark fruit flavors, beautiful oak accents and lush tannin structure that all together will allow this historic Cabernet to enter its Second Age with its power on full display.

Beginning with a dark, opaque garnet color, this rich, forward Cabernet smolders with the intensity of the 2022 Napa vintage. Swirling brings out dramatic aromas with black cherry jam, mexican chocolate and fine tobacco.

The first sip brings a succession of fruit and barrel note flavors as this young, exuberant Cabernet shows off with blueberry, black cherry and strawberry jam flavors enhanced by cinnamon, cocoa powder and sandalwood notes. A bright, fleshy, oak-influenced finish delivers another mexican chocolate note, along with candied fruits and fresh toasted bread.

The persistent fruit and fresh acidity are a special bonus that we have come to expect from this old Diamond Mountain planting. With such broad, expressive fruit, the brightness refreshes the palate and prepares it for another sweep of decadent flavor.

With a short decant, you’ll enjoy a forward, hedonistic Cabernet with a structure that will compel you to crack bottle after bottle this holiday season.
