Diamond Creek -
"From the 5-acre Gravelly Meadow Vineyard, the 2002 Californian Diamond Creek Cabernet Sauvignon (the 30th vintage of this wine) exhibits a deep ruby/purple color in addition to a smoky, Graves-like nose of earth, hot rocks, and sweet currant and cherry fruit. Medium to full-bodied, with undeniable elegance and sweet, pure fruit, this beauty benefits immensely from 60 minutes of aeration. This dry red wine is spicy, impressively concentrated, and long, but promises to age nicely for 10-15 years." RP - 90 (Subject to Availability) DCGM02 DCGM02
