Cabernet Sauvignon was the first wine produced by Rombauer Vineyards when the winery was founded in 1980. Diamond Selection, first produced with the 1994 vintage, represents the best lots harvested each growing season. This reserve bottling comes from estate vineyards and top grower vineyards in Calistoga, St. Helena, Oakville, and Stags Leap District AVAs.
The wine was 75% barrel-fermented, providing a richer, more textured palate and seamless oak integration. The wine was gently basketpressed before being racked to French oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and aging. The finest lots were carefully chosen and blended to produce the Proprietor Selection.
Ripe, dark aromas of plum, blackberry, and black cherry all intermingle with notes of spice, black licorice, and baked pie crust. A rich, dense palate finds more blackberry and cassis flavors on the front, backed by spice, black tea, and cedar, punctuated by hints of vanilla and savory pastry. Plush, soft tannins frame this wine to give it a harmonious balance and luxurious length.
