Diamond Mountain, Napa Valley, California, USA
I ❤️ Diamond Mountain! The tourists have no clue, and you sort of need to base camp in Calistoga and then venture out. Call in advance to schedule tastings, this isn’t tourist trap wine Disneyland. It’s a wonderland if you love Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. This wine is typical of the awesomeness of DM - sort of a Platonic Ideal of Cabernet.

From our first visit to Napa. It seems like ages ago and this wine has aged elegantly. Soft tannins, rich berries, hints of leather, boysenberry jam, and slight dust. I look forward to our next visit, worth the wait.

Opens up nicely. Don't usually like Californians but this is a nice bottle. Nice with steaks.

Valentine wine with a steak and baked potato. Nice fruit with silky tannins and a dusty finish.
