2019 Cabernet Sauvignon, Diamond Mountain District

I loved the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon, Diamond Mountain, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 19 months in 80% new French oak. Yes, there’s some mocha and caramel overtones but also concentrated, dark-berry notes suggestive of black cherries and cassis. It’s a big, full-bodied wine that’s densely concentrated yet also round and expansive on the palate, finishing long and velvety.
