Within the Diamond Collection, this Appellation Series holds a distinct place of its own, thanks to its origin in Santa Barbara County where morning mist extends the growing season and gives the wine extra tension and concentration. The result is a layered, silky red wine that comes into its own at the table while remaining approachable in style. \u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"690\" data-start=\"667\" data-section-id=\"14jexaw\"\u003eVineyards and region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"766\" data-start=\"692\"\u003eThe origin here is not a detail, but a defining component of the style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-end=\"1564\" data-start=\"768\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1060\" data-start=\"768\" data-section-id=\"htyeuu\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"793\" data-start=\"770\"\u003eLocation \/ Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Santa Barbara County is located in the southern part of California's Central Coast.
