The Cliff Lede Diamond Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 is a rich, deeply colored red wine with vibrant flavors and a memorable structure. The Diamond Mountain vineyard is a low-yielding vineyard with volcanic ash soil that lends minerality to this red wine. On the nose, look for fresh aromas of black currant, plum, tobacco, and crushed blackberries. These sweet and savory aromas complement the mineral flavors on the palate, which deepen after time in a decanter. Expect the decanted wine to emerge with flavors of pine forest and cedar.
