92-94 Points — Vinous Media

“The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Rainin Vineyard stands out in this range for its feeling of layers and delineation. There is plenty of size and weight, both Hall signatures, but the Rainin also has pretty hints of savoriness, graphite, menthol, licorice and plum. The character and pedigree of Diamond Mountain is very much in evidence.”

94-96+ Points — The Wine Advocate

“A barrel sample, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Rainin Vineyard is deep garnet-purple in color and displays vivacious scents of bold black cherries, mulberries, warm plums and cassis with hints of cardamom, lilacs and fried herbs. The palate is medium-bodied, elegant, fresh and expressive with bags of black fruits and a plush texture, finishing long and layered.”
