點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：3156

A fine, fancy Cabernet. It shows Diamond Mountain’s famously hard tannins, but they’re so finely ground, the wine is actually drinkable now, with a brief decant. It’s entirely dry, with complex waves of blackberries, cherries, currants, violets, mocha, minerals and, of course, plenty of sweet smoky oak.——S.H.(9/1/2010)—— 92

Diamond Mountain, on the Mayacamas side of Napa Valley, has long been known for producing Cabs that possess hard tannins in their youth. Not this one. Modern tannin management has yielded a lush, lusciously soft wine, beguiling in blackberry and cherry pie filling and mocha flavors that are almost sweet. But the finish is thoroughly dry.——S.H.(6/1/2008)—— 92
