Emblematic of Napa Valley's vinicultural legacy, this assemblage is a symphony of meticulously curated micro-block sites, echoing the mastery of Woodbridge's flagship, Hundred Acre. The Diplomat, a sublime blend marrying Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and a whisper of Petite Sirah, matures in French oak for over 30 months, resulting in a libation of profound complexity. With notes of luscious black cherries, seductive mocha, and earthy nuances, each sip unveils layers of eloquence and potency. Fortunate Son embodies Woodbridge's unwavering pursuit of vinous excellence, a testament to his vinous artistry.

Robert Parker - 94 Points

"Riper and substantially more expressive than the 2018, Fortunate Son's 2019 Red Wine The Diplomat is a plush, luscious wine, laden with black cherries, mocha and loam notes. It's full-bodied, rich, velvety and supple, with a lingering finish. Like the previous vintage, it's mainly Cabernet Sauvignon, with a fair whack of Merlot."
