Diamond Ridge
Diamond Ridge produces wines from California's North Coast, a region defined by cool maritime influence and volcanic soils that shape structured red wines. The winery focuses on Bordeaux and Rhône varieties, with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon at its core. Aspects, a Cabernet Franc–Cabernet Sauvignon–Merlot blend, represents the house style: a wine built on the dark fruit and tannin structure characteristic of the region's Cabernet-driven reds. A single-varietal Cabernet Franc offers a more focused expression of the grape's herbal and mineral character. Petite Sirah rounds out the portfolio, bringing the peppery spice and depth that the variety delivers in California's cooler coastal valleys. Wine Enthusiast has rated these releases.
