Lot 24 2023 Diamond Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

Not a lot can be said about the winery, a legendary producer on Diamond Mountain with low-to-mid three-figure price points for even their lowest end offering. I'm prevented from saying much more so I'll let your imagination take it from there.

The wine is, in a word, exquisite. 

Chiseled from the terraces of Diamond Mountain, it's a powerful yet delicious wine made with Swiss watchmaking precision. Dark, inky, ethereal with incredible structure and balance, it is the epitome of the appellation. 

Opaque in the glass. The bouquet is chock full of iron, mineral infused red rock and violets tightly enmeshed with blackcurrant, hints of cedar, anise, graphite and scorched earth. Raspberry and mocha peek through with air. Surprisingly smooth on entry it is nevertheless tightly wound around a robust framework of black and red fruit-flecked tannins and crushed red rock minerality framed with chocolatey oak in a long, sweeping finish. Full-bodied yet supremely elegantly structured, this formidable Diamond Mountain Cabernet is seamless, precise and exquisitely balanced.

Just a baby now but surprisingly approachable given the picture perfect 2023 vintage, this should be a no-brainer for any true Mountain Cabernet connoisseur.
