Tasting Notes
- WSM93
- Bright and brisk, with the spark of Diamond Mountain’s volcanic soil, this is a powerful wine with restraint. The black fruit keeps rolling through the finish, kinetic and cool over the lovely richness of earthen tannins. Rudy von Strasser recently sold his winery and this estate vineyard, a 15-acre, south-facing hillside of mixed volcanic soils. He will continue to source fruit from these vines over the next several vintages.
- WE90
- From an older block of estate vineyard, planted to budwood originally sourced from Martha's Vineyard, this 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot and 10% Malbec is not for the faint of heart or palate. Burly and expansive, its aromatics star, inviting in cedar, mocha and vanilla before black pepper and cherry take over. The tannins are velvety.
