Checkerboard Aurora Cabernet Sauvignon Diamond Mountain 2017
Aurora Vineyard is nestled in a small valley midway up Diamond Mountain on a large knoll located at an elevation of 1,200 feet. The knoll projects off the mountainside, giving the vineyard full Southern exposure and open light from the East and West and protection from Napa Valley's summer fog. This vintage is a masculine beast of a wine. Notes of coffee, cocoa nibs, red and blue fruit. Although big on the palate it’s elegant on the palate and finishes smooth with silky tannins.
