Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A superior Cabernet that shows, first and foremost, Diamond Mountain’s famous tannins. They make the mouthfeel a little hard, but the wine is so rich in blackberries and plums, you hardly notice. Beautiful now, with decanting, and should develop for six years.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This is a kind of junior Cab to the winery’s regular Diamond Mountain bottling, whose 2006 was spectacular. The Little Sister is similarly rich and oaky, with broad flavors of blackberries and currants. It’s very tannic, and should improve over the next 2-4 years.

a dense and delicious wine that tastes like ripe cherries and blackberries but maintains its structure with tannins. vanilla warms it up.

Love the beautiful nose of deep dark blackberries and a lighter hint of raspberries. A velvety mouthfeel leaves hints tobacco and chalky tannins.

Inky ruddy in color, opaqe. Ultra chalky tannins, surprisingly light mouthfeel. Tasty wine; think it might integrate beautifully over next 2-3 years.
