I had never heard of Reverie until last week when I was at a friend's house and he gave me a bottle. In fact, there are very few Diamond Mountain wineries that are on my radar, with the exception of Diamond Creek. So, when I got this bottle home, it didn't take long to dive in and see what was there. Very nice juice, I must say. This is a big, age-able wine from Napa, but not in the dark brooding sense, more like a Kathryn Kennedy Lateral, with a bit more acid and liveliness in the blend. A somewhat subdued nose with black fruit, eucalyptus and smoldering campfire embers. The palate shows the same rich dark fruit, cedar and tobacco leaf, with a much higher level of acidity than I would expect. So vibrant and alive, this wine. A very nice diversion from the dark, bone crushing Napa Cabs of note (although, please don't get me wrong - there are some great ones in that category as well).My rating: 91 / Outstanding
What does a bottle of this run? Sounds like an amazing wine... Might be perfect with my steaks tonight if I can track some down.
