About the wine
A deep purple in the glass, this Cabernet Sauvignon from Diamond Mountain opens with aromas of cassis, baked blackberries and a hint of dark chocolate. Dried red fruit flavors are layered with touches of espresso and notes of earthy minerality. The palate is seamless and full-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins and a lingering finish.
After harvesting, the grapes were fermented on the skins for 35 days. After a native fermentation and extended maceration, the wine was gently pressed, racked and aged for 19 months in 38% new Baron French oak barrels. Tightly grained, French oak barrels from forests in the center of France impart their oak on wines slowly for a consistent, well-rounded aging process while yielding subtle oak influences to the Cabernet Sauvignon.
