(08/06) 2005 Diamond Creek "Volcanic Hill" Napa Cabernet Sauvignon Product Reviews:
The 7-acre Red Rock Terrace Vineyard produced a Cabernet with a striking combination of richness and grace in 2007. Opulent aromas of cassis, red currants, cedar, tobacco and cigar box lead to densely packed flavors of ripe blackberry and wild berry fruit, with mineral, sage and cedar notes that are juicy and layered. Will drink best from 2013-2020.
Diamond Creek 2006 Gravelly Meadow Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Deep in color with bold, rich aromas of smoke, cassis and plums.

Diamond Creek Gravelly Meadow Cabernet Sauvignon The Connoisseurs' Guide 93 points: 'Calling this wine light is a bit of a reach, but it is nonetheless the least hefty and most mannerly of the current Diamond Creek bunch. Its beautifully focused, classic display of cassis, violets and dusty earth spice in the nose is followed hard on by deep and refined flavors of a similar stripe. Firmed and made ageworthy by its fine finishing tannins, it will need a little less time than its siblings to reach full
