This is an interesting wine because while there is good power the overall impression is one of restraint

Diamond Creek, Gravelly Meadow other_regions (87-89)/2020+Diamond Creek's 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Gravelly Meadow is defined by a sense of translucency and lift that is compelling. Medium in body and light on its feet, the 2014 is all about persistence. Here, too, the tannins are remarkably soft and polished for such a young Diamond Creek wine. Hints of lavender, plum, violet, spice and mint add character to a wine that speaks to finesse more than pure power. Antonio Galloni
