Diamond Terrace 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Diamond Mtn Napa Valley

Diamond Terrace
Our 2004 Diamond Mountain Cabernet possesses a dark ruby color with an exotically perfumed nose of violets, blackberries, creosote, smoke and licorice. The wine’s palate has rounded out considerably since its summer 2006 bottling revealing notes of crushed rocks, cassis, graphite, tar and black raspberries. the finish has turned long and sweet with time in the bottle. Like any concentrated hillside wine, patience in the cellar or many hours in a decanter will reveal a more evolved wine.

The Story

Diamond Terrace is the result of a dream that started in 1988 when Maureen’s parents purchased a 10-acre vineyard on Howell Mountain as a second home that they called “Eagle Summit.” We visited them there often and dreamed about raising our family in the Napa Valley.

We realized that dream in 1998 when we purchased a 16-acre parcel, with a 5-acre Cabernet vineyard on Diamond Mountain, just south of the town of Calistoga. After establishing the Diamond Terrace label and producing 6 vintages of Diamond Mountain Cabernet we felt ready to add another wine to our portfolio. In 2005 we brought our dream full circle by producing a Howell Mountain Cabernet from the Eagle Summit vineyard, now owned by Maureen and her brothers.
