about this wine:
"The volcanic rock and ash soil of Reverie Vineyard stresses the vines, resulting in smaller fruit laden with black cherry and currant flavors. The steep, terraced slope faces west and cane-pruned vines allow for maximum sunlight exposure for the fruit. The vines are spaced six feet apart and planted with several different clones including Sees, Clone #7 and Jordan...wine is 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, 510 cases produced"

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, December 2003
The 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Diamond Mountain (473 cases) reveals a strikingly complex perfume of cedar wood, white chocolate, acacia flowers, creme de cassis, and hints of earth as well as truffles.

($120) Good saturated ruby-red. Subdued, subtly perfumed aromas of chocolate-covered dark cherry and crystallized currant; suggestion of almost roasted ripeness. Lush, sweet, slightly baked flavors of dark berries, minerals and menthol. Finishes chewy and long, with big tannins that reach the front teeth. 89-92 points

($135) Full ruby-red. Musky aromas of currant, espresso, chocolate and tobacco. Generous, lush and sweet, with a flavor of blackcurrant but also a slight greenness. Offers a distinctly creamy texture. Finishes with solid but nicely supported tannins and a strong element of baking spices. 89 points

Wine Spectator, January 2002
Makes a potent statement, with its layers of concentrated currant and black cherry fruit. The shadings of cedary, toasty, mocha oak add dimension and depth. The finish is impressive for its length and complex nuances. Score range: 92-94 (JL)
