2018 Diamond Creek Gravelly Meadow Cabernet Sauvignon | Diamond Mountain Napa Valley 750ml

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

Pepple-Strewn Soils in a Pre-Historic Riverbed
Gravelly Meadow is a relatively flat site that was once a pre-historic riverbed. Situated in one of the cooler microclimates on the Diamond Creek estate, the vineyard possesses pebbly, porous brown soils which drain rapidly, compelling the vines to struggle for moisture. Gravelly Meadow Cabernet Sauvignon is typically the first to be tasted in the line-up of Diamond Creek Cabernets.
Gravelly Meadow often evokes freshly tilled earth, currant, plum, and ripe blackberry flavors, well-defined, elegant tannins and a mineral, persistent finish. | Diamond Creek
