2014 DYER DIAMOND MOUNTAIN CABERNET SAUVIGNON

Highly revered, Diamond Mountain produces incredibly age-worthy Cabernets with firm tannins, concentrated fruit, and veins of intriguing volcanic nuance. As they age, the best will become increasingly expressive as the tannins change from firm to silky, followed by a mouth-quenching, long and hedonistic finish. A great example is Dyer’s 2014 Diamond Mountain Cabernet, which after nearly 4 1/2 years in the bottle, is gradually going through that change and is kicking off gloriously complex and sybaritic flavors.

Bill and Dawnine Dyer combine for 80 years of winemaking experience at paragons Sterling, Frogs’ Leap, and Domaine Chandon, to name just a few. They’ve taken each trial and tribulation throughout their winemaking careers and poured them into Dyer, and the results are brilliant.

The 2014 vintage is 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, co-fermented with Cabernet Franc and Petite Verdot. The wine has an unbelievable presence that saturates your palate with inky blue fruits infused with crushed herbs, wildflowers, and rocky minerals.
