Constant 2002 Diamond Mountain Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Diamond Mountain)
Cellar Selection
Price
$85
Constant produces intense red wines that are destined to age, and this one is no exception. It drinks well now despite sizable tannins because it’s so soft and sophisticated, but easily has the balance for the long haul. With its tremendously ripe black currant fruit, it should develop bottle complexities through 2015.

Constant 2002 Claret Red (Diamond Mountain)
Price
$50
Soft, cherried and voluptuous. It is three-quarters Merlot, with the balance Cabernet Sauvignon. The cherry, chocolate and cassis flavors make it instantly appealing, but it has a tannic intensity that will hold it for a good five years.

Constant 2002 Diamond Mountain Vineyard Syrah (Sonoma County)
Cellar Selection
Price
$48
It’s not just the inviting scents of white pepper and roasted meat, or the well-ripened blackberry, cherry, blueberry and cocoa flavors that make this wine so good. It’s also the fine tannin-acid balance. The wine is lushly fruity, yet structured at the same time, finishing with echoes of pepper and meat. Should drink well for 5–10 years.

Constant 2000 Diamond Mountain Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
Price
$75
This is quite a success for a 2000 Cab, probably due to the extreme mountain growing conditions. Although it is strong and even astringent in tannins, there is a sweet, flattering richness of cherry and blackberry fruit that is particularly evident on the long finish. It is an obvious cellar candidate. Drink 2008 and beyond.

Constant 2001 Diamond Mountain Vineyard Cabernet Franc (Napa Valley)
Price
$45
Imagine a rich, ripe mountain Cabernet without the edgy tannins and spicy currant flavor of the Sauvignon. Complex in cherry and oak flavor, with a smooth texture and an explosion of spice. It has a chocolaty finish, and is lip-smackingly delicious.

Constant 2001 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
Price
$85
A massive wine that floods the palate with ripe flavors of blackberries and chocolate and sweet, smoky oak. Ripe, sweet tannins make for a good grip. Finishes lush and opulent, and a little soft.

Constant 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
Price
$85
Nice and fairly complex, showing ripe cherry, blueberry and cassis fruit, well-oaked, this is backed up by rich tannins that can be described as mountain-style. But they’re new-style tannins, silky and refined, so the wine is drinkable now. Will develop for up to five years.

Constant 2003 Diamond Mountain Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
Price
$85
Not as rich and opulent as the great ’02, the ’03 nonetheless is elegant, showing true mountain character. It’s dry and tannic, with blackberry, currant, plum and cherry flavors. Should hold for five years, but it’s not for the long haul.
