Tasting Note

The 2019 Fortunate Son The Diplomat offers a plush and approachable expression of Napa Valley fruit, showing layers of ripe black cherry, plum, and blackberry accented by sweet baking spice, mocha, and a hint of cedar. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is polished and generous, with fine-grained tannins that give structure without heaviness. Balanced acidity keeps the wine lively, while subtle notes of cocoa and graphite add depth through the long, supple finish. A seamless, elegant red that showcases both richness and refinement, it is drinking beautifully now but has the concentration to evolve gracefully over the next decade.

Product Notes

Fortunate Son The Diplomat wine is an exquisite piece of viniculture, embodying the robust flavours of rich, dark urbane berries layered with spicy undertones, accentuated by a velvety finish.

The admirable depth and complexity make it quite inviting to both novice and sophisticated wine enthusiasts alike. Possessing a delightful character, this wine matures gracefully with time, leaving an indelible impression on the palate. Fortunate Son The Diplomat is a grand testament to superior winemaking craftsmanship.

About the Winery

Fortunate Son

Fortunate Son represents the creative vision of Jayson Woodbridge, the renowned Napa Valley winemaker behind the iconic Hundred Acre. First introduced in 2006, the label was reimagined in 2018 as Woodbridge’s personal exploration of Napa’s historic, small-scale vineyard sites—parcels that carry the valley’s legacy in their soils and vines.
