This is our second year producing Diamond Collection Cabernet Sauvignon.For a decade weve bottled Clareta robust red blend largely comprised ofCabernetbut we wanted to offer a single varietal Cabernet Sauvignon aswell in order to show off the elegance of our grapes.We combine fruit from appellations as far north as El Dorado and as farsouth as Paso Robles, where soils range from sandy clay loam to black volcanicobsidian. Likewise, some of our vineyards experience a unique diurnaltemperature pattern; extremely hot days are tempered by very cool nights,which slows the ripening process and enhances the flavor and complexityof the fruit.The 26 growing season was long and cool, allowing the grapes to hangon the vine weeks longer than usual. As a result, this wine has immenseconcentration, rich color, and profuse aromatics that give way to layers ofenduring flavor.
