First Diamond Creek in a while, relieved that the vibrant red fruit and minerality are still there, like the old days, along with their classic gravelly tannins.

Wide open and quite drinkable. Gobs of supple red fruit hung on a classic mountain structure. Tannins and acid lead. Tasted blind among prestigious napa cabs - performed very well.

Interesting and delicious but in an unexpected way for a Napa Cab. The nose has cherry and leather and a bit of tobacco. Backwards on the tongue. First sharp tannin that dissipate quickly then the fruit and volcanic ash takes over. Please decant and let open up. Then enjoy.
