Blue-fruit flavors ride over firm tannins on a full-bodied, austere, and tightly focused palate. Its exceptional length and reserved structure call for patience, with the review recommending drinking after 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Enthusiast Review - Rated 95:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mb-0\"\u003eWine Enthusiast describes this five-acre, pebbly vineyard expression with forest, graphite, and clove aromas. Small portions of Merlot, Malbec, and Petit Verdot contribute to a silky, rounded palate rich in red fruit and supported by balanced acidity. A long, spicy finish suggests an ideal drinking period from 2028 through 2038.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobert Parker's Wine Advocate Review - Rated 94+:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mb-0\"\u003eWine Advocate's current review finds the 2018 Gravelly Meadow beginning to close down, while still showing dried porcini, fresh cassis, and blackberry. The medium- to full-bodied palate is more muscular than opulent, with chunky, block-like tannins and balanced proportions. Despite that structure, it finishes long and with surprising elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Spectator Review - Rated 94:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mb-0\"\u003eWine Spectator found the 2018 Gravelly Meadow ripe and expressive, with cassis and plum purée joined by violet, singed applewood, and red licorice. Iron and warm-stone notes add definition as the wine moves toward the finish. The mineral accents pull the fruit together while the floral character returns at the end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-selected=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWinery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\nDiamond Creek\u003cspan\u003e - Gravelly Meadow\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUnited States\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\nNapa Valley,\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCalifornia\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYear\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2018\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGrape Varietal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e750 ML\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eABV\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e14.5%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWine Style\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRed Wine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Diamond Creek","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50973086384214,"sku":"ezx1793388076457","price":167.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/8236\/5270\/files\/diamond-creek-gravelly-meadow-cabernet-sauvignon-2018-750-ml_1.png?v=1793388082","url":"https:\/\/cottondriftclad.shop\/products\/diamond-creek-gravelly-meadow-cabernet-sauvignon-2018-750-ml","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
