Brooding and tightly coiled, showing crushed graphite, blackcurrant and dried sage beneath a veil of new oak. The volcanic minerality cuts through on the mid-palate, adding tension to the dark fruit core. Formidable tannins and concentrated structure demand patience. Give this five years minimum to show its true character.

Diamond Creek

Diamond Creek has bottled its Diamond Mountain estate as three distinct single-vineyard Cabernets since the late 1960s, each tied to a specific soil type. One of Napa's earliest and most consequential single-vineyard programs.
