Glorious Revolution
Cabernet Sauvignon
Glorious Revolution Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold expression of Diamond Mountain’s unique character. Crafted from meticulously tended vineyards at Morris Ranch, this wine reflects the estate’s elevation, exposure, and rugged terrain, translating the site’s natural strengths into each bottle. Richly layered and structured, it balances intense dark fruit, refined tannins, and subtle hints of forest floor and mountain spice, offering both immediate appeal and the ability to age gracefully for years to come.
Every vintage of Glorious Revolution Cabernet Sauvignon is a testament to the philosophy that guides our winemaking: precision in the vineyard, minimal intervention in the cellar, and unwavering respect for the land.
“Our goal is always to let the site speak for itself. On Diamond Mountain, that means crafting a Cabernet that is both powerful and precise, capturing the essence of the land, its character, and its striking intensity with every sip.”
~ Thomas Rivers Brown, Winemaker
Tasting Notes
-
Based on 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2023 offers chocolaty red and black fruits intermixed with leafy herbs, tobacco, and additional chocolate notes. It’s full-bodied and plush on the palate, with moderate acidity, the classic tannic structure of the appellation, and a great finish. This is a solid, well-made Diamond Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon that should drink well over the coming 12-15 years.

"From the southern edge of the Diamond Mountain District, the 2022 Glorious Revolution Cabernet Sauvignon from Morris Ranch offers a classic vibe in its ripe black fruit, black olive, iron, and tobacco-driven aromatics. This carries to a medium to full-bodied, concentrated Cabernet that has quality tannins, solid mid-palate depth, and a great finish."

"The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon, which comes from a site on Diamond Mountain, sports a dense purple color as well as pure, classy notes of blueberries, plum, black tea, and crushed rock-like minerality. A full-bodied red, it has classic 2019 sexiness, ripe tannins, and a great finish."

"The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon showed beautifully, with a rich, concentrated, yet still balanced, elegant style, which is very much the vintage. Lots of black fruits, roasted herbs, tobacco, chocolate, and a hint of sappy flowers define the bouquet. It's medium to full-bodied, with a layered, elegant, weightless texture, plenty of tannins, and a great finish. This has everything you could want from a classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, and it should have 20-25 years of prime drinking. The tannins are beautifully managed for a Diamond Mountain Cabernet."
