Diamond Mountain, Napa Valley, California, USA
Ok - another 2011 Napa cab that is much better than critics say - Thomas Rivers Brown is winemaker - the wine even could go another five years - with WNH gang - I was amazed at the vibrancy - deep rich purple color - good balance - length was shorter than hoped for but nose and palette were full of dark black cherries blackcurrents and tertiary notes of cedar tobacco and cocoa - a great QPR for a TRB Napa cab

Needed to decant for a longer than average period to become drinkable. Very odd taste in the beginning. Did get a little better but nothing great.
