2023 Double Diamond Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold yet polished expression of Napa Valley, offering depth, vibrancy, and structure in equal measure. The nose opens with layered aromas of ripe black cherry, dark plum, graphite, and violets, underscored by subtle notes of sweet tobacco and baking spice. On the palate, the wine is expansive and silky, revealing concentrated flavors of blackberry, cassis, and dark chocolate, balanced by refined tannins and a vibrant core of acidity. A hint of crushed rock and cedar lingers through the long, harmonious finish, capturing the essence of Oakville’s exceptional terroir.
