98 Points — Robert Parker Wine Advocate
Nestled amongst the northwestern hillsides of Napa Valley lies the sparsely planted and highly coveted Diamond Mountain District. Our Rainin Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon consistently displays the unique characteristics generated within this exceptional microclimate.
Pure and focused, the 2019 Rainin opens with beautiful aromas of tilled earth, graphite, subtle sage, and ripe black fruits. The palate is bold and firm with dense, seamless tannin and fresh flavors of black cherry, olive tapendade, and cocoa powder. The full power of this age-worthy wine unwinds into a lengthy and supple finish.
