DIAMOND CREEK

Cabernet Sauvignon Mix Pack: 1 x Volcanic Hill, 1 x Red Rock Terrace, 1 x Gravelly Meadow 2017

Volcanic Hill - 96 Pts

 Beautiful aromas of brambleberries and blueberries with some conifer and mushrooms. Floral, too. Medium to full body, very fine tannins and succulent fruit and spices. Extremely long and subtle. Glorious and refined now, but will be better with age.

Red Rock Terrace - 97 Pts

This is riper and richer than the other two single-vineyard reds from here with more density on the palate and a beautiful, velvety texture. It’s full and beautiful. Extremely long and luscious, but still reserved and not too flamboyant. Classic Red Rock Terrace. Give it a few years to come together completely.

Gravelly Meadow - 95 Pts

Very classic Gravelly on the nose with plums, currants and hot stones, as well as spices. Medium body, ultra-fine tannins and a beautiful, delicious finish. Purity and finesse.
