Earth dominates this wine with clay and mineral highlights on a restrained nose. The wine is closed at the moment, needing time in bottle or decanting. With time, cassis and black cherry fruit, black olive, and sweet baking spices emerge. The wine is full-bodied with dusty tannins and a mineral finish.
Diamond Creek Vineyards, Napa Valley (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2009
