This brand new release of Toymaker Diamond Mountain Cabernet is a deep, dark and dazzling winner from Napa’s unanimously acclaimed 2018 vintage. The texture reminds us of luxuriously smooth cashmere-in-a-glass and is guaranteed to delight fans of Napa’s most intense, Cult-style reds such as Checkerboard (same vineyard source). The intensely pleasurable, dark fruit favors entice with notes of fresh figs, blackberry compote, and complex baking spice that lead to a blissful finish of sumptuous chocolate truffles. Savor this magnificent wine tonight (decanting recommended prior to 2024) or anytime through 2029. – October 2022

Toymaker Cellars Winery

100 point winemaker Martha McClellan is a gifted Napa legend and the very first winemaker at Harlan, prior to her husband Bob Levy who she still collaborates with at Harlan and their eponymous Levy & McClellan private label. Martha is also the genius who crafts Checkerboard from where she must have found ToyMaker's vineyard, a secret very close to Checkerboard, high atop Diamond Mountain.
