To the outsider, Diamond Mountain is unheard of. To the local it is a legend, a mystery, described by some as a ghost. Fog off the Pacific cloaks the vineyard morning and evening, letting powerful vines rest after a long day of stress and ripening. Ours sits four hundred feet above that fog, surrounded by evergreen.

Diamond Mountain District is a fraction of the size of every other mountain district in Napa Valley. One and six-tenths of an acre of it is ours. That acreage is the whole reason this is a 99-case wine and not a 9,000-case one — there is no version of this bottle that scales.

One vineyard, one varietal, one vintage. Nothing blended in to stretch it and nothing blended in to cover it.

The label
The label is a painting by Ty Christian: three hands of different skin tones woven together, rising out of dark earth to hold a blue marble. It was a painting before it was ever a label.
