I have (almost) never rated s wine a perfect 10... But this one, THIS one, is perfect! The pepper and gaminess of the Mourvedre is powerful and lingers on and on. The Cinsault and Grenache add a touch of bright red fruit and sweet berry notes. It could easily have gone a few more years. Mind, blown... — 9 years ago
Washington State produces quality wines and Red Diamond is one of the best. Highly recommended — 9 years ago

I made the mistake of trying this wine for the first time with a spicy Mexican dinner....not the best combo. But once the spicy flavors ebbed, I could pick up some wonderful, rich flavor in this wine: cherry, oak, licorice, and pepper. A strong cherry nose and lightly dry, warm texture round out this very pleasant wine. — 9 years ago

Agreed with previous CT reviewers, this wine has lost most of its tannin. However, that's not necessarily a bad thing. This allows a lot of notes to show on the finish. This wine had a nose of black cherry cordial and tart. The note was more of a black cherry and oatmeal tart on the front. Delicate, yet hedonistic at rhe same time. Herbal finish. Still with a delicate fruit structure. Neat wine. The finish really did beg you to take another sip, which IMO is mission accomplished. Compared to a Favia and a 1999 Heitz Martha's, this red had stiff competition but fared well. Probably was better 1 or 2 hours after I left, so @Shay Aldriedge 's note is probably going to be a truer representation of how it showed when it was fully open. — 8 years ago
Bold, full body shiraz with plum, blackberry and some spice but very well rounded. Some tannin to go well with BBQ, beef and lamb. I would order this again! — 9 years ago
Color of deep burgundy with brownish haze on the rim. Nose of round alcohol, herbs, leather, dark cherries, and a bit smoky barrel note. Taste of polished but powerful acidity with sweet note hidden within it, dried dates, cherries, leathery, anise, hot spices, peppery, and low in the tannins. A bit too watery. Aftertaste of some dried apricot note, spice, lingering acidity, and ground white pepper, not too long. Considering the price tag, it doesn't resonate too well with me. — 9 years ago
A lot to love about this #wine. Love their range across the board. The wine didn't change dramatically after opening. Pepper seemed to go from crack black to white table over time.
Pours dark shades of red. Nothing blue about it. Moderately dry. Can really pull out the Viognier and its role in the wine.
Deep cherry with slight herbal notes and wild brush aromas. Slightly smokey conjoined with Pepper. Palate is streamlined with deep black fruits. Black raspberry/cherry and more brambley notes. Finish has good structure. Coats palate and shows fine tannin. Opened 12/24/15 — 9 years ago
Yummy Chardonnay. Hint of pear. Clean finish with subtle oak. — 10 years ago

I wasn't sure if a rosé from 2013 would still be holding up well, but this was fresh and delicious. Lots of smooth, creamy strawberry and a hint of vanilla. Very nice texture. — 8 years ago
