This consignor grew up among the vineyards in the Niagara region and has fond memories of eating grapes off the vines at her friend’s family farm. It was during her 20s that she learned to appreciate wine, travelling through France, Italy and eastern Europe for business. In her 60s she began to collect wine seriously, some shipped to her by business associates and others purchased from wine merchants and collectors. The bottles have been meticulously stored in a custom designed wine cellar and were then moved into 2 temperature-controlled wine cabinets.
The tasting note for 1987 Diamond Creek Vineyards Gravelly Meadow Cabernet Sauvignon Diamond Mountain Districtis from Wine Spectator - An earthy wine, crisp and intense, this may well surprise with age. Has plenty of flavor and depth, but remains austere.
