Inaugural bottling of the Diamond Mountain Cabernet. Ruby red with light intensity on the edges. Nose was very feminine and coated with red cherries and floral notes. Moderate tannins (5.5/10) and a light plus to moderate body. Definitely thinner than expected. Elegant palate. Moderate finish with a slightly tangy bite. Maybe needs a little more time to develop in the bottle. Will try the next one in a year or two. But if it does not change drink till 2019.
