Brooding and muscular, with black cherry, graphite and dried herbs showing the volcanic terroir's mineral grip. The structure feels almost severe right now. Firm tannins and bright acidity create an austere frame around concentrated fruit. Harvested before the Glass Fire, this captures Diamond Creek's distinctive site character but needs considerable time to integrate.
