92ST
"(A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot and 5% Merlot.) Good full medium ruby-red. Lovely floral lift to the aromas of plum, smoke and underbrush. A sweet, juicy fruit bomb in the mouth, with excellent breadth of flavor and attractive floral freshness. Finishes with firm but fine tannins and noteworthy subtle length. Very sophisticated wine, and an excellent example of Diamond Mountain."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
A deeply colored, tannic Bordeaux blending grape adding color, structure and floral, spicy complexity in small proportions.
