Dyer Cabernet Sauvignon Diamond Mountain 2004

A new and little winery from the Diamond Mt. region. The Dyers' are both winemakers, Bill for Sterling Daimond Mt Cab, Dawnee for Chandon. Both with over 20 years of experience.

This is what a Cabernet Sauvignon should be. Full robust dark cherry, leather, dusty finish and understated oak. There is none of the California overripe and jammy fruit that so many have gone towards. It is lovely to finally have a California Cabernet Sauv that speaks to what they once were and a price that is shocking for the quality in the bottle. This is definetly a wine for those who lend toward an older style or remember when before so many started tasting and feeling the same.

This wine pairs well with ribeye and spagehettei and meatballs. It is also ageable for at least the next 8-10. Note that it needs to be decanted otherwise it takes two days for this wine to really shine.
