Tasting Notes
Tasting Note
The 2014 Diamond Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon offers inviting aromas of blackberry, black cherry, tobacco and sage spice. The full-bodied, plush mouthfeel has layered flavors of boysenberry, briar patch, with a unique wild floral note. The is a big wine with ripe, round tannins well-integrated into the overall balance of the wine. Inky and complex, this wine continues to evolve with time in the glass.

Winemaking
Harry Hansen - Winemaker
Director of Winemaking Harry Hansen was raised in nearby Sonoma County. “One of my earliest memories of wine was the gallon jug of red wine that we always had at home. I would go with my father to a local winery, maybe in Kenwood or Healdsburg, to refill that jug and chit-chat with the winery proprietors. The aromas of those wines were always something attractive, somehow mysterious, but always memorable.”
Harry joined Sterling Vineyards and relocated to Napa Valley just before the 2011 Harvest. “The opportunity to join such a respected Napa Valley winery is exciting and a fantastic next step in my winemaking career. Sterling Vineyards is making some wonderful wines, and I look forward to taking that next step up in quality and reputation.”
Vintage
Vintage
2014 was a beautiful vintage for the Napa Valley along the lines of the recent outstanding vintages of 2012 and 2103. Although California's continued drought brought another dry winter, the growing season started with a warm, dry spring and relatively early bud break. Summer temperatures remained mild and consistent with even, warm temperatures throughout. The overall quality and expressive fruit characteristics make this an outstanding vintage. Grapes for the 2014 Yates Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon were harvested on October 9 and 13.
