Score 93/100 · Drink 2021-2038, Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, Aug 2020

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Diamond Mountain is composed of 98% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple in color, it bursts from the glass with notions of blackcurrant pastilles, baked plums and mulberries plus touches of chargrill, menthol and candied violets with a waft of tar. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has wonderfully soft-spoken earthy layers with a bit of chew to the texture and a mineral-laced finish. 320 cases were made.

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Diamond Mountain is a classic wine from the hot, mountain terroir. Dark currants, chocolate, baking spice, and dried herb notes all emerge from the glass, and it's medium to full-bodied, nicely textured, and beautifully balanced.
