Description
 
Diamond Creek is California's first exclusively Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Vineyard. It was established in 1968 by Al Brounstein, a visionary pioneer who planted Bordeaux varietals on secluded Diamond Mountain in the northern Mayacamas Range of the Napa Valley. The Diamond Creek property has three separate vineyards: Red Rock Terrace, Gravelly Meadow and Volcanic Hill, each with a distinct microclimate and soil type. In certain years when conditions produce an exceptional wine, a Lake Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is released. Red Rock Terrace, a warm microclimate, is 7 acres of north facing vineyard. The red tinted soil is high in iron content. The wine from Red Rock Terrace is the most accessible and earliest drinkable of all the Diamond Creek wines.

The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Red Rock Terrace boasts serious depth and power, but it appears to be holding all of the elements very much in reserve. Hints of camphor, tar, menthol, wild flowers and dark fruit open up gradually over time. Constantly changing in the glass, the 2009 is endowed with superb energy and tension. It is also incredibly inward and in need of considerable cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2024-2049. WA95+
