Nose was Creme de Cassis, vanilla, mint and wet gravel. Still fairly primary on the palate with black berries, cassis, graphite, espresso and black pepper spice. Still fairly tannic this one needs another 5-7 years.. "B+"


Do you have strong preferences between the Diamond Creek wines? I always seen to prefer Gravelly Meadows to Volcanic Hill and Red Rock (I've never had the 4th one, small production whose name I forget)
