Tasting Notes

WA97

One hundred percent Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Jamie might be their Château Latour if the Diamond Mountain cuvée is their Margaux. This is stunning. Floral notes mixed with crème de cassis and minerals dominate this full-bodied, beautifully etched wine with supple, silky tannins and layered, rich fruit that build incrementally to a full-bodied opulent, but stunningly pure and complex wine. This is brilliant stuff and should drink well for 15-20 years.

WE95

As impressive as the woman—a pioneer in the Napa Valley—was herself, this 100% varietal wine from the estate property high atop Diamond Mountain is powerfully elegant, intense yet refined. It begins with a high-toned, graceful entry that's rich in blueberry and chocolate, the oak smooth and integrated, with a suggestion of hand-rolled tobacco. Drink now through 2022. Cellar Selection
