Diamond Creek 2010 Gravelly Meadow Cabernet Sauvignon 3.0L

Critical Acclaim:

The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Gravelly Meadow is just starting to open up. Sweet black cherry, smoke, licorice, incense, spices and orange peel are all laced together in an attractive, mid-weight wine built on layers of sweet perfumed fruit. Hints of rose petal and mint develop in the glass, adding an attractive upper register to the expressive red-toned, brambly fruit. Quite surprisingly, the 2010 is already enjoyable today, but it should drink well for another 15+ years, if not considerably longer. The Gravelly Meadow is the most approachable of Diamond Creek's 2010s. Score: 94 points -- Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Oct 2014
