Diamond Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon
91% CS, 9% Malbec.
I've been a fan from early on but think these guys have really been on a stride beginning with their 2012-vintage.
I re-visited this wine several times throughout the evening and didn't think it budged much (over 4+ hours) from my initial impression.
That should speak more to the quality (and age ability) of this wine than to my tastebuds and I would certainly love to taste it again in 5+ years as my rating then may seem quite conservative.

Dec 31st, 2019This is yumma, but it’s not the cab sauv I expect and crave from heavy Napa area hitters. I wouldn’t buy this if I hadn’t received it with my Schramsberg club shipment. It’s not to say it’s not yummy. It is. But it’s legs just don’t compete with the complex, big personalities of stellar Napa caps.

Mar 25th, 2018Thought it was good. Maybe a little thin just didn't have the punch I was hoping for.
