2000 Diamond Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Gravelly Meadow: "Smooth and elegant, with a fine tuned core of black cherry, raspberry, blueberry, cedar, spice, coffee, chocolate, herbs and licorice notes. Tannins are firm yet delicate, supporting a long, bright finish redolent of cocoa, vanilla, toast and tangy berries. This is an elegant wine, neatly balanced and downright delicious to the end." 93 Points - Wine Enthusiast, April 1, 2004
2000 Diamond Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Gravelly Meadow: "Sporting both the same sturdy spine and concentrated fruit that characterize its two siblings, the Gravelly Meadow bottling smells of currants, creme brulee and earth, and its compact, but deeply filled flavors emphasize Cabernet's loamy and somewhat minerally side while keeping ample fruit well within sight. Patience again is required here, and both its price and need for age make it a wine recommended for serious collectors of the varietal." 91 Points - Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine, December 2003 |
