May 8, 2024 - Awesome wine. Open for 45 min before and drank for 3 hours. Best glass was the last glass and if you only have one or two I would recommend waiting a few more years. However, this was super balanced with no hard edges and a nice balance of subtle dark fruit and secondary / tertiary notes. I will be looking for more to hold for a bit.

May 1, 2023 - This is an absolutely fantastic wine that is ready to drink within an hour of being open. The 2015 Gravelly Meadow is fruit forward with a velvety balance. Some acidity and tannins help keep this complexity mesmerizing. You can't wait for the next sip.
Also absolutely flawless the 2nd night. -

April 20, 2023 - OMG, what an amazing nose of crushed blackberries, blueberries , currants, and fresh spring herbs. All integrated in a loamy soil minerality with overtones of rose hip. The palate is amazing with full combination of nose characteristics with a balanced acid and tannin mix that goes on for minutes. A beautiful contemplated wine that acts like Pinot Noir intellectual study of thought. I happy I have multiple bottles in different years in my cellar.

July 21, 2020 - Popped this one open at Shanahan’s in Denver. It was wound uo pretty tight on the pull but I sipped slowly and tasted. Initially the taste didn’t match up with the nose but slowly dark berries and cassis crept into the glass and the velvet tannins typical of Diamond Creek started to appear. This doesn’t yet match the great Gravelky Meadow vintages but it is on its way and might well reach it in another couple of years.
