2022 Fortunate Son 'The Diplomat' Napa Valley, USA (750ml)

The 2022 Diplomat greets the senses with a captivating suite of aromas, including dark cocoa, fresh cut strawberry and vanilla bean. A profound mineral layer, like an outcropping of stone, are wedged alongside sweet notes of candied almond slivers and flaky pie crust. A flourish of rose petals adds perfume, while fresh-cut cedar and a cooling thread of peppermint provide lift and freshness. On the palate, soft and supple tannins glide effortlessly, carrying a tapestry of red fruit and sweet-spice nuance across the tongue. The texture is both silken and inviting, leaving a lingering impression of elegance, balance, and quiet power.
