Diamond Creek Volcanic Hill 600cl 2015

HED76597 600cl 14.5%
Diamond Creek Vineyards has four distinctly different vineyards that yield equally singular Cabernet Sauvignons. Volcanic Hill has the warmest micro-climate and produces the longest-lived wines. It contains a tiny amount of Petit Verdot and is full-bodied, loaded with intense berry fruit, and has superb length.
The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Volcanic Hill is the most savory and mineral-driven of these three Cabernets from Diamond Creek. Graphite, gravel, crème de cassis, lavender, menthol and plum are all finely sketched. The Volcanic Hill shows a good deal of the nuance that makes wines from this part of the estate so compelling, but in a far more approachable style than I can recall encountering previously. I would prefer to give the 2015 a few years to develop a bit of aromatic complexity, but opening a bottle on the young side is hardly a crime.

Diamond Creek was founded in the late 1960s by Al and Boots Bounstein, true pioneers of fine winemaking in Napa. They recognised the potentially of Dimaond Mountain for growing CFor over a half-century Diamond Creek has produced single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons from its stunning estate on Napa Valley’s Diamond Mountainabernet Sauvignon and were early advocates for a terroir / micro-climate focussed winemaking approach in Napa.
