Dorothy J Gaiter and John Brecher taste a '78 Diamond Creek in

"Giving Thanks for American Cabernets"

"Awesome sweet nose with lots of chocolate. Black color. Taste is simply awesome, soft yet enormous. Fruit without a single hard edge. Absolutely perfect on first sip. Only age will accomplish this perfect combination of fruit and softness and depth. Plums, cherries, wood, tobacco, chocolate with an awesome finish... perfect NOW!

After ten minutes, gets backbone and verve under the fruit. Awesome grapes. Even the empty glass is awesome!

After one hour, it's rich and creamy and chewy without a hint of decay. It's mouthfilling in a fluffy kind of way. Deep, dark, rich very California. Aged, powerful, big, bold, elegant- a Sean Connery kind of wine." - The Wall Street Journal
