Wine Review: This Cabernet Sauvignon from Diamond Creek is Tremendous! It is slightly opaque and dark red colored. It opens with a very inviting black cherry bouquet with hints of black currant. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, very nicely balanced and super smooth. The flavor profile is a delicious black cherry and black currant blend with nicely integrated gentle minerality and oak. The finish is dry and its flavors and refined tannins sail away for a very long time. I would pair this Excellent wine with a filet mignon. Enjoy - Ken
