Rated vintages

    Musky in leather, tobacco and black tea, this wine is juicy in currant and cranberry before finishing a tad flat. From a robust mountain appellation, it's surprisingly resolved in terms of tannin and the oak is relatively restrained.

  • 201090 pts

    This wine is rich and dense with blackberry, cassis liqueur and cedar flavors. It's frankly delicious, but those tannins are really hard—that's Diamond Mountain for you. Will be more mellow in 6–7 years, but it's fine now with a nice steak.
