title: Diamond Creek 2010 Gravelly Meadow Cabernet Sauvignon (Diamond Mountain District)
description: The winery has hardly changed its winemaking formula over the decades. Gravelly Meadow remains toughly closed, dry and tannic in youth, despite its core of blackberry and cherry fruit. While the wine is flamboyantly forward by Diamond Creek standards, it would be a crime to drink it before 2020. It's so balanced and complex, it will easily age until then, and probably far longer.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Gravelly Meadow
