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.

Diamond Creek’s 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Volcanic Hill is a bit more open than the Red Rock Terrace. The blue and black-hued fruit is deep, rich and enveloping, while firm, focused tannins provide the backdrop. The Volcanic Hill has power to burn. With time in the glass, hints of smoke, crushed rocks and tar come to life, adding even more intensity and grip. The Volcanic Hill is always likely to be bombastic, but it is also compelling. Anticipated maturity: 2023-2048.WA94+
