Diamond Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Gravelly Meadow Vineyard Napa Valley | 2022 | 750ml

About This Wine

Al and Boots Brounstein founded Diamond Creek in 1968 on Diamond Mountain, near Calistoga, as California's first estate dedicated entirely to Cabernet Sauvignon. They were among the first in Napa to bottle separate wines from distinct parcels of the same estate. The first vintage was 1972, and the Rouzaud family of Champagne Louis Roederer bought the estate in 2020.

Gravelly Meadow is one of the estate's named vineyards, planted in 1968 on pebbly, gravelly soil.

Serving

Decant and serve with grilled ribeye, lamb or aged hard cheeses.

About Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied, structured red built on blackcurrant and dark-berry fruit, firm tannins and fresh acidity, often layered with cedar, graphite and tobacco. From a warmer site it leans riper and denser, with concentrated black fruit and rounder tannins.
