From the poorest soil in the Diamond Creek Vineyards micro-climates comes one of their most richly layered Cabernets. Gravelly Meadow is host to vines that struggle deeply for every bit of nutrient resulting in a wine that shows every facet of terroir with earthy mineral sensation, cedar, and stony grit. The structure is stoic and will be a guarded fortress to the complexity within this wine for many years. | Falling Bright...Mineral and wet stone, with complex dried currant and herb notes on the nose. The entry is full with a core of currant, blackberry, spice, black licorice and cedar flavors, gliding along on the aftertaste, which is pure and plush. | Diamond Creek...Very classic Gravelly on the nose with plums, currants and hot stones, as well as spices. Medium body, ultra-fine tannins and a beautiful, delicious finish. Purity and finesse. | 95 points, James Suckling
