Tasting note

The Diamond Mountain District lends this 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon a setting for blackcurrant, blackberry and a subtle herbal aroma. Expect a full, structured palate, with dark fruit surrounded by fine but persistent tannins and acidity providing a steady lift. Its listed peak continues through 2028 and the horizon reaches 2034; the finish should move from ripe cassis toward cedar and dry spice, leaving a composed, lingering impression.
