2019 Diamond Creek Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Volcanic Hill Napa Valley

2019 Diamond Creek Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Volcanic Hill Napa Valley Aromas of cassis, black licorice, and bay leaf and ripe black cherries lift from the glass. Rich and elegant tannins, and labyrinth of blackberries begin the entry of this wine and lead to plum, cardamom, espresso, and scented earth that make it alluring in youth but will age well beyond.

Volcanic Hill is a south-facing hillside vineyard. The consistency of the gray soil is that of light, fluffy, volcanic ash, originally deposited from the eruption of Mt. Konocti eight million years ago.

Diamond Creek Vineyards is an iconic Napa Valley estate with a long history of making some of California’s most revered Single-Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons.In 1968 visionary Al Brounstein defied modern conventions and planted Bordeaux varietals in the secluded Diamond Mountain AVA.Ideally suited to growing Cabernet Sauvignon, our estate is divided into four distinct vineyards, each with its own terroir arising from different soils and microclimates.

For over a half-century Diamond Creek has produced Single-Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons from its stunning estate on Napa Valley’s Diamond Mountain. True to the mission of its founders, the winery has never veered from its path of creating wines that express the unique terroirs that coexist on this geologically diverse yet relatively small piece of earth. Today we carry on this tradition, committed to preserving Diamond Creek’s long celebration of site-driven, estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon while nurturing the property and its wines to even higher expressions of quality and singularity.
