Diamond Creek, Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Gravelly Meadow 2021

The 2021 Gravelly Meadow is a sensational showing. It begins with seductive aromas of ripe black cherries and blackberries, which are woven together with exotic spices, violets, crushed stones, and a touch of loam. On the palate, this is full-bodied and beautifully structured with remarkable depth and concentration. It displays a wonderful sense of elegance and finesse, with a seamless texture and layers of ripe dark fruits that are framed by fine, polished tannins. It remains incredibly well-balanced and precise through the long, graceful finish. This is an exceptional wine from Diamond Creek that is already showing beautifully, but also possesses a very bright future ahead. Reviewed by International Wine Report in June 2024
