DIAMOND CREEK

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

Volcanic Hill - 94 Pts

Bold, featuring dark plum, fig and blackberry compote flavors that jump to the fore, quickly harnessed by singed juniper, warm earth and licorice root notes. Shows good grip for a 2017.

Red Rock Terrace - 94 Pts 

Dark and winey, this is packed with steeped blackberry and fig compote flavors, wrapped in licorice root, menthol, Turkish coffee and roasted juniper notes. The ample grip is well-embedded throughout, letting the fruit and earth components get to know each other. Built for cellaring.

Gravelly Meadow - 93 Pts

Pretty sage and sassafras aromas lead off, followed by a core of gently mulled blackberry and bitter plum flavors. Edgy grip rides underneath on the finish, with black tea and singed alder accents trailing. Shows a smoldering intensity.
