Diamond Mountain, Napa Valley, California, USA
Can’t believe it’s been over a year since my last bottle. Absolutely love this wine. Gorgeous floral and fruit nose. Black, then blue ripe fruit, camphor, eucalyptus, black licorice, pencil lead. Silky soft tannins, perfectly balanced, incredibly mouthfeel. Full bodied but light on its feet. Long finish. Tasting better now than my last time, so raising the rating.

Nov 24th, 2023Fantastic bottle once again. Perfectly drinking now or can definitely wait. Big ripe black and blue fruit. Earth and mineral. Opening up to oak and vanilla, dark chocolate. Well balanced structure. Tannins still firm but smooth. Gorgeous wine. I’ll try to hold off another couple years before my next bottle…try being the key word as this wine is so good.

Nov 22nd, 2021Dark ruby colored. Nose of ripe dark fruit. Mouth coating blue and black fruit. Ripe and fresh tasting. Fruit moves to oak tones with mellowed tannins. Appears to just be hitting its stride.
