2021 Fortunate Son 'The Diplomat', Napa Valley, USA

THE DIPLOMAT opens with aromas of blueberry, cassis, black raspberry, and Italian plum. The medium- bodied palate is soft with fine tannins and supported by a backbone of oak. The evocative, luscious finish will leave you wanting more.

WINEMAKER NOTES
This is a wine which Winston Churchill would have been drinking whilst insulting Hitler or some pandering moron. The wine is dark and rich and is not for the faint of heart, if you are looking for a light table wine, go away, quickly...this is wine for drinking, eating and making love.

VINTAGE NOTES
There was no 2020 vintage due to the apocalyptic fires and so the 2021 has been a long time coming. An extremely small crop, dryness and zero heat spikes combined with super small, concentrated berries and a super long ripening season resulted in the vintage being hailed as one of the TRULY great ones.

VINEYARD NOTES
Sourced from small, family vineyards, (in some cases for 3-4 generations) that are farmed with great care and attention. These vineyards (some are 80+ years old) have been brought together, actually woven together, so the magical fruit could at last become Fortunate Son.

COMPOSITION
56% Merlot
34% Cabernet Sauvignon
10% Petite Sirah

COOPERAGE
Aged for 33 months in 100% new French oak. We only use the finest French oak barrique with stave wood that is hand-selected for ultra-tight grain, then air dried for three years before being made into barrels.
