Tasting Note

The 2019 Fortunate Son The Diplomat offers a plush and approachable expression of Napa Valley fruit, showing layers of ripe black cherry, plum, and blackberry accented by sweet baking spice, mocha, and a hint of cedar. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is polished and generous, with fine-grained tannins that give structure without heaviness. Balanced acidity keeps the wine lively, while subtle notes of cocoa and graphite add depth through the long, supple finish. A seamless, elegant red that showcases both richness and refinement, it is drinking beautifully now but has the concentration to evolve gracefully over the next decade.
