CHW Confidential
High above Napa Valley, the vineyards of the Diamond Mountain District are planted to volcanic soils that produce small crops of a very particular character unlike that of anywhere else in the valley. These high elevation vines, grown above the fog line, struggle mightily to dig deep roots in the rocky slopes. The result? Intensely flavored grapes that in turn, are made into exceptionally structured, age-worthy wines.
There are only a handful of producers up on Diamond Mountain, so I can’t be very specific regarding the sourcing. Lot 679 was purchased from a small winery that produces very collectible (and very expensive) mountain Cabernets that are rarely available to the general public…unless you have the right connections. Produced by a winemaker whose name is well known among hardcore and casual wine geeks alike, this is a spectacular gem out of Napa Valley that is difficult to find (even for hardcore negociants like myself).
