This wine is more about the single-vineyard terroir than the fruits. It has earthy and mineral flavors. it opened up after an hour of decanting. I prefer the multi-vineyard Diamond Mountain Cabernet from this producer.

Another outstanding Von Strasser cab! This one was in magnum form, and took care of 8 people :-)
