Fortunate Son The Diplomat Red Blend Napa Valley 2019
Napa Valley Red Blend | 97 Points – Decanter
Personally selected by our founder—a lawyer with the instincts of a diplomat—after tasting with the winery’s CEO, for its remarkable ability to harmonize diverse varietals into a refined and elegant resolution. He calls it the "lawyers" choice.
Why This Wine Stands Out:
• Crafted by Jason Woodbridge, the 100-point winemaker behind cult icon Hundred Acre
• Handpicked by our founder after a personal tasting and meeting with the winery CEO
• Historic Napa fruit, including 80+ year-old vines, aged 24–30 months in tight-grain French oak
A Powerhouse Red for Serious Wine Lovers
Fortunate Son – The Diplomat 2019 is not your everyday Napa blend. It’s full-bodied, structured, and unapologetically bold—perfect for special occasions, professional milestones, or gifting to those who appreciate rare craftsmanship.
Made by Jayson Woodbridge, the mind behind Hundred Acre, this wine reflects his return to emotionally driven winemaking. It’s built with the same exacting standards—using small-lot, old-vine fruit from multi-generational Napa vineyards, aged up to 30 months in top-tier French oak.
