Diamond Creek CS Gravelly Meadow 2012 -OC6 Volume:750ML blueberry/cassis-filled candy bar and vanilla

blueberry/cassis-filled candy bar and vanilla ice cream melting in the mouth

a profound opaque purple color and enormous notes of lead pencil shavings intermixed with blackberry liqueur

The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard is simply beautiful

intellectual bouquet with scents of dried honey

but elegant and complex

Diamond Creek CS Gravelly Meadow 2012 -OC6 Volume:750ML blueberry/cassis-filled candy bar and vanillaLastly, the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Gravelly Meadow, from the smallest of the parcels at five acres, seems to be the most gravelly (pardon the pun) and with loads of minerality its a more backward tannic style. Offering less obvious pleasure, but loads of structure and minerality, its an intellectual interpretation of Cabernet Sauvignon.
