2008 Wallis Diamond Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
Wine Enthusiast
Awarded 94 Points
Rich, elaborate and layered. If this Cab were a fabric, it would be suede. Shows the tannins and minerals of Diamond Mountain, with potent flavors of blackberries, cherries, currants, cola, anise and sweet smoky oak. The finish is wonderfully dry, firm and long. Should develop for at least eight years.

2008 Wallis Diamond Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
Vinous by Antonio Galloni
Awarded 91 Points
Good deep red. Slightly high-toned aromas of cherry liqueur, licorice, tar and loam, along with a cooler minty nuance. Then supple and fresh in the mouth, with floral red fruit flavors enlivened by integrated acidity. The dusty tannins are nicely ripe for Diamond Mountain cabernet. Well-balanced and persistent.

2008 Wallis Little Sister Cabernet Sauvignon
Wine Enthusiast
Awarded 92 Points
Dry and smooth as a fine old Scotch, with intricately woven blackberry, black currant, green olive and herb flavors leading to a long, spicy finish. The tannins are significant, but very finely ground. Classy and powerful, this Cabernet should develop over the next eight years.
