2022 Double Diamond Sauvignon Blanc
The inaugural release of the 2022 Sauvignon Blanc showcases, yet again, the mark of excellence from winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown. The nose is fresh and inviting with notes of green apple, melon, white peach, and citrus zest enveloped by delicate hints of fresh leafy herbs, such as Thai basil and mint. The palate mirrors this freshness and is balanced with notes of pithy stone fruit and grapefruit. Its structure shows length and layers, roundness and raciness, leaving you with a lingering saline finish.
Varietal Composition: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
2021 Double Diamond Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon stands to outshine the award-winning 2019 vintage with even deeper concentration and complexity. On the nose, the wine leaps from the glass with ripe blackberry, cassis, black cherry, and red plum, with a lovely herbaceous undertone. The palate expresses juicy red and black fruits with hints of black tea, damp earth, vanilla bean, lavender, and just a touch of flint. With fine-grained tannins and mouthwatering acidity that lingers through the long finish, this wine is ready to drink upon release but will cellar well for years to come.
Varietal Composition: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Barrels: 54% New French Oak, 46% Second-use Schrader Darnajou French Oak

On the palate, generous red and blue fruits are complemented by blackberry compote, dark chocolate, and espresso. The wine has silky tannins, food-friendly acidity, and a lingering finish. It is ready to drink upon release but will cellar well for years to come.
