Fortunate Son Description
The 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.
Wine Advocate: 92 Points
The 2018 Red Wine The Diplomat is mainly Cabernet Sauvignon but contains a fair bit of Merlot, being, as Jayson Woodbridge calls it, "A 21st-century claret." It comes across as earthy, tobacco-scented and even a bit evolved, despite its youth. Redcurrants and dark chocolate round out the spectrum of aromas, while the palate is medium to full-bodied, streamlined in shape and not overly rich or generous but balanced and attractive for early drinking.
