Fortunate Son 2021 The Diplomat Red Blend Napa Valley by Hundred Acre

"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." Jeb Dunnuck 93 Points

This is a wine which Winston Churchill would have been
drinking whilst insulting Hitler or some pandering moron.
The wine is dark and rich and is not for the faint of heart,
if you are looking for a light table wine, go away,
quickly...this is wine for drinking, eating and making love.

Vineyard Notes
—
Sourced from small, family vineyards, (in some cases
for 3-4 generations) that are farmed with great care and attention. These
vineyards (some are 80+ years old) have been brought together, actually
woven together, so the magical fruit could at last become Fortunate Son.

Composition
—
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and a very small fraction
of Petite Sirah.
Cooperage
— Aged for 24-30 months in the finest French oak barrique.
The stave wood is hand-selected for ultra-tight grain, then air dried for
three years before being made into barrels.
