With only 500 acres of vines scattered through the mountains and volcanic outcroppings that characterize the area, Diamond Mountain District is the smallest of Napa's 13 AVAs. Most of the vineyards are small and family owned, the wines made in small quantities with very limited distribution. Located in the western hills of Napa Valley between St Helena and Calistoga, Diamond Mountain gets it’s name from the Volcanic obsidian that glitters in it’s soils.

Here are 11 bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon - Mountain Cabs with loads of personality. Representing several vintages, in magnums or 750s, most were sold out to list distribution long ago, and all are vineyard designated. This may be Napa Valley's smallest AVA, but the wines are big and bold!!

These gems would be a welcome addition to any cellar!
