while the winery's regular 2010 diamond mountain cab is a barrel selection, this estate vineyard selection consists of “only the darkest, most extracted lots,” from the winery's various vineyards, according to the winemaker. that's exactly what you get, an inky wine, it's huge on the palate with blackberries, currants and dark chocolate, augmented by plenty of new french oak. it is absolutely delicious now, but the tannin structure guarantees to develop for 10–20 years.
