I ❤️ Diamond Mountain! The tourists have no clue, and you sort of need to base camp in Calistoga and then venture out. Call in advance to schedule tastings, this isn’t tourist trap wine Disneyland. It’s a wonderland if you love Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. This wine is typical of the awesomeness of DM - sort of a Platonic Ideal of Cabernet. — 8 years ago
A strain of matcha tea and menthol runs through this black cherry wonderland. Absolutely delightful. — 9 years ago

It is an incredible bottle of wine. Great nose, texture and long finish. I like it with a good pasta dish, venison stew - or just sitting in my chair listening to an Italian opera, gazing into the North Carolina Mountain Wonderland. Luckily I still have a few bottles of the delight left in the cellar — 9 years ago
This is my current favorite wine. Its from Left Foot Charlie's in Traverse City, Mi. The brewery is located on the grounds of an old asylum which is like for sure haunted.
The taste of Garden Wine is crisp and light and makes me envision drinking it in a Wonderland garden tea party. There is an almost sour tone that makes me believe there is rhubarb involved. — 10 years ago
I think a lot of Rosé is trying to be this wine. Clean, mid dry finish. Orange wine of Chardonnay. — 7 years ago

I'm calling this one Weekday Pinot. Going with roast bacon wrapped chicken breast , sweet tater planks and baby sweet peppers. Nice for the price! Good balance of savory to fruitiness. — 8 years ago
Great Southern Riesling aromatised with Bush herbs and spices. This wine bangs - there is a fair bit going on on the nose (it’s like sticking your nose in a dried herb heat bag) and in the palate - dried herbs, orange, apple, mandarin, myrtle, eucalyptus; a solid medium body and nice acid. Not ostentatiously orange, it’s interesting and goes down a treat — 9 years ago

Powerful aromatics that speak to Aussie Riesling... Key lime, grapefruit, lemon zest, and petrol - think fresh tennis balls. Bounding acidity meets ripe, juicy tropical fruit, as this maintains a dry, lasting finish. Paired with spicy curry, but would also go great poolside in the summer. Fun fact: Vineyard planted in 1912. Outstanding effort. 11% ABV — 7 years ago
So well balanced. Very tasty. This winery is killing it. — 8 years ago
Wow. A fantastic offering by John Alban, I cannot imagine this 2006 drinking any better than it is right now. Aromatics dominated by grenache with hints of kirsch, herbs, and earthy undertones all skirting around the edge of Alban's signature intensity of fruit, smoke, and iodine. Has amazing balance with a great combination of silkiness and enough tannic backbone to keep it alive on the palate. Finish lingers on for almost a minute. This can probably go a few more years...but why wait? Another amazing wine from the Edna Valley wonderland that is Alban Vineyards!!!! — 10 years ago
