Diamond Creek Gravelly Meadow 1996 is a single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon that presents an austere profile with a pronounced earthy character. The wine exhibits notes of dark currant, blackberry and hints of dried herbs, reflecting the complex interplay of the vineyard`s gravelly soil. Substantial tannins provide structural integrity, evolving through a lengthy finish. Diamond Creek is known for its pioneering role in Napa Valley`s Cabernet Sauvignon production, having been one of the first to focus solely on single-vineyard wines in the region.
