Description

Wine Spectator #1 Wine of 2022

Winery Notes:

The straight and simple truth about our Double Diamond wines is, for the quality and the price, we feel we are bringing you one of the best buys in Cabernet on the market today. Our Double Diamond program focuses on two outstanding growing regions — the Napa Valley, renown for producing world-class Cabernet Sauvignons, and the Amber Knolls Vineyard, situated on a mountain top (2,200') in the heart of the Red Hills Lake County appellation, recognized for producing spectacular rich, complex, and concentrated fruit.

Wine Spectator 94

#1 in Top 100, 2022. Packs in generous steeped plum, boysenberry and mulberry flavors backed by a broad swath of roasted alder and bittersweet cocoa. Brimming with dense fruit, and is squarely in the not-shy style. The long finish has a serious loamy tug, too. Best from 2023 through 2035. 10,000 cases made.
