Big, rich, ripe Napa Cab. Not my preferred style, but still darn tasty. — 3 months ago

Diamond Creek is one of my favorite wineries. I visited the winery and met the owners a couple of times. This bottle had a lot of blackberries, some other dark and touch of green herbs.. Very integrated with a nice long finish. Went great with the Wagyu steaks. — 4 months ago

2 1/2 hour decant and still shows semi-resolved, round, meaty tannins. I can only imagine how big this wine was at release.

Silly, silly. Dark chocolate cooking bar, smooth expresso, sweet tarriness, anise-black licorice, mocha, caramel, clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanillin, dark, resolved spice, blackberries, black raspberries, black plum & very, dark cherries. Fresh & candied, lavender, violets round acidity, balance, nice tension, structure, well knitted and really well polished lush, finish that lasts 90 seconds.

Yes, there are Sonoma Cabernet producers that stand right in there w/ Napa. This is certainly one. — a month ago

No one has had this since 2007?!?! Fantastic. Was worried I had held it for too long but it’s a Franc so was thinking I was good. It is singing! — 5 months ago

Can’t believe it’s been over a year since my last bottle. Absolutely love this wine. Gorgeous floral and fruit nose. Black, then blue ripe fruit, camphor, eucalyptus, black licorice, pencil lead. Silky soft tannins, perfectly balanced, incredibly mouthfeel. Full bodied but light on its feet. Long finish. Tasting better now than my last time, so raising the rating. — 5 months ago
