95-97 Points (Barrel Sample) - Jeb Dunnuck
"The flagship from this estate is the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Black Diamond Reserve Napa Valley Monument, which is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon that’s still resting in 80% new oak. Its saturated purple hue is followed by a ripe, sexy, full-bodied beauty with lots of cassis and currant fruit as well as ample spice and floral notes, terrific mid-palate density, velvety tannins, and outstanding length."

97 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"There are 262 cases of the stunning 2019 Black Diamond Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Prima, a blend from two famous vineyards. There's a rich, earthy element and hints of licorice, and both lend nuances to the ripe cassis fruit in this full-bodied effort, which comes across as densly concentrated yet supple and silky. The elegant, lively finish lingers, framed by soft tannins. Approachable now, yet with the stuffing to last at least a decade, it's a lovely Cabernet that really expresses its (largely) Rutherford origins."

94+ Points & "Cellar Selection" - Wine Enthusiast
"This impressive 100% varietal wine shows focused red fruit, a tropical edge of coconut and firm, structured tannin. Sage, cedar, tobacco and black pepper notes provide a sultry, savory counterpoint to the fruit, balanced with moderate acidity."

"Jammy, rich and leathery, this full-bodied robust wine has a touch of smoke lingering in the back, beneath soft, well-integrtaed oak. Juicy, it's enjoyable now, while being structured enough to go another decade or so."

"Very rich, ripe and dramatically textured, this has explosive flavors of blackberry, creme de cassis, dried herb, and smoked meat flavors, enriched by smoky oak. It show the tough, hard tannins you often find in low production mountain Cabernets. Made by well-known winemaker, Philippe Melka, it has the structure of a wine that needs age. Give it at least eight years, and could be a wine that lasts decades."

94 Points - ​Wine Enthusiast
"Expensive? Yes. But this is the kind of wine that tastes expensive and will impress just about everyone. It's thoroughly modern in the soft, pliant tannins and the fantastic explosion of ripe blackberry, blueberry and chocolate fruit that has a welcome touch of olives. So soft, it may not age well, but sure is decadently good now."
