Diamond Mountain District is a sub-region in Napa Valley, USA.

Growers build the wines around Cabernet Sauvignon, filling out the blend with Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, plus five more.

The climate is continental, running fog-prone.

The vineyards themselves read as elevated and mountains.

Red wine is what the region is known for, and in the glass it shows big.

At the table these bottles work with roasted meats, grilled dishes, tomato-based pasta and hard cheeses.
