The Classics
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing- oh, hi! Boy, it's been a long time since anyone caught me at work! Let me introduce myself, I'm the guy who writes the Lorem ipsum copy on all those half-finished sites all across the web. Pleased to meet you! Would you like some wine?
Oh, I never sit down before a computer to write without a bottle of wine to keep me company. Why not, right? It's so easy! I never have to innovate or deviate, it's just lorem ipsum, lorem ipsum, lorem ipsum back and forth the whole day long. That gives me plenty of time to focus on a wine with a cedar bouquet and rosemary aromas, this 2008 Cabernet Franc.
This lovely three-pack has a core as sweet as the words which first made me appreciate literature, Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Really gets your heart beating, doesn't it? The sort of words that make you hungry for pork and cherries or a grilled duck breast! Not coincidentally, the 2008 Cabernet Franc is quite easily paired with both.
Maybe in some other world, I'm a famous journalist, spitting out new sentences that captivate audiences across the globe. But between you and me, that seems like a WHOLE lot of work, right? Much easier to just paste in socially acceptable Cicero and move on to the next glass of wine. Speaking of which… almost time for another!

Features
2008 Cabernet Franc, Lake County 750ml 3-Pack
The 2008 Cabernet Franc was harvested on October 16, fermented traditionally with extended maceration, and aged in neutral cooperage for 36 months to resolve its incredible reductive strength. Age has added a cedar bouquet to its spicy grenadine and rosemary aromas. For roundness and flesh, 14% of Merlot was blended in. The resulting palate possesses a sweet core of fruit which is framed by substantial tannins and a bright mineral finish. Although suitable for current consumption with pork and cherries or grilled duck breast, this is really a collector’s wine which will benefit substantially from a few years in the cellar.

Cooling lake breezes preserve berry flavors, while the soils confer a refreshing minerality. The consequence is that the plum and cinnamon aromas the grape develops are conserved.

The mantra of Diamond Ridge Vineyards can be summed up in one word ~ quality. We grow top quality grapes because we have to. Distinctive wines reflect perfectly the environment in which they are grown, because grapes are delicate vessels which drink in the vineyard site's attributes and carry the stamp of that place. Our ace in the hole is that our site allows us to grow fruit of comparable and sometimes superior attributes compared to our downhill neighbor Napa County, at a fraction of the cost of land, the principle driver of grape price.
Our unique combination of sought-after characteristics and reasonable prices results in tremendous value which is the key to our success. Our winery customers have come to rely on us to provide intense fruit aromas, color, minerality and tremendous palate energy, and these qualities have become our stock and trade.
