Cabernet Sauvignon The Diplomat 2021 Fortunate Son

Avis professionnels

Jeb Dunnuck (93)

Blackcurrants, roasted herbs, licorice, and some jus de viande-like aromas and flavors all emerge from the 2021 The Diplomat, a slightly more Merlot-dominated blend that includes 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. It's beautifully balanced, medium to full-bodied, has integrated acidity, and fine tannins. Drink this beauty over the coming 10-12 years.

Winston Churchill inspires this wine and embodies a purity reminiscent of fine Claret—a quality Jayson believes could rival the greatest vintages from France. Made with pure intention, it’s bright and lifted, with gorgeous savoury sagebrush nuances. The tannins are silky and delicate, delivering a seductive, luscious texture. Crushed cacao nibs and dried floral notes add complexity, while the wine’s tremendous staying power and spiciness shine through on the long finish. Enjoy this while preparing the main course.
