2021 Diamond Mountain, Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

2021 Diamond Mountain, Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

A single vineyard 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon grown in the volcanic soils of the hillside vineyards surrounding the Castello in the Diamond Mountain District AVA.The firm structure of this Diamond Mountain wine is backed by layers of blackcurrant, ripe cherry, cassis and cedar. Meant for cellaring up to 10 years.

2021 Growing Season: “Fabulous quality, small yields and limited production from 2021.”

The 2021 Napa Valley grape harvest set new records for early maturity and reduced yields across all varieties in Napa. Extremely low rainfall in the winter and spring had growers struggling to manage water status and low vine vigor. Smaller canopies, short shoots and low yields have produced massive flavors and beautiful aromatics in the wines.

Reservoirs were low, and decisions about irrigating the vines were a challenge. The vines struggled but, in the end, pulled through for exceptional quality. Different parts of the Valley showed differences in sugar accumulation, and early the harvest was fully ripe. The warm, dry summer was followed by a relatively cool August, allowing the vines to develop intense flavors and color in the grapes. Small berries, tiny clusters, and uniform ripening is evident in the fabulous wines from the vintage. Great acidity and fragrance in the white wines and moderate tannins and rich flavors show in the red wines.
