Some of the fruit for Fortunate Son even hails from Jayson Woodbridge’s own Hundred Acre vineyards, joined by fruit from select family vineyards he’s negotiated to farm. The Diplomat is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, supported by Merlot and Petite Sirah. Bright notes of Morello cherries and black raspberries soar above a profound core of cassis with licorice and tobacco. The palate is plush with layers of powerful black fruit and a long, earthy finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAged for 24-30 months in the finest French oak barrique. The stave wood is hand-selected for ultra-tight grain, then air dried for three years before being made into barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e94 Points - Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Merlot-dominated 2019 The Diplomat comes from a handful of sites and would give a great Pomerol a run for its money with its darker red and black fruits, smoky herbs, and earthy goodness on the nose. These carry to a full-bodied, rounded, opulent 2019 with sweet, building tannins and a great finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRiper and substantially more expressive than the 2018, Fortunate Son's 2019 Red Wine The Diplomat is a plush, luscious wine, laden with black cherries, mocha and loam notes.
