Recommended by the sommelier @ Brennan’s in place of a Shafer 1.5 no longer available. This was all leather and dark chocolate upon opening and after a 30 min decant it evolved into a powerful but elegant Cab with everything in balance. Continued to open up throughout the meal and paired well with tableside steak Diane and seared duck breast. Great value.

Great Diamond Mountain wine; needs some air to shift the fruit from a tighter red to a more open purple fruit. DM terroir unfolds after thirty minutes and cigsr box starts to show up. Solid wine especially for the price.

Really enjoyed this as a PnP but would have been better with decanting. Drinks beautifully at open and is a mid to heavy weight dark fruit and Diamond mountain schist that complement one another so well. Balanced with some tertiary notes developing think more mushrooms than forest floor. Great wine with a good future as well. I think the sweet spot is another 5-7 years.
