We are very excited to offer the 2012 Diamond Creek Cabernet Collection. Celebrating their 40th Anniversary of making some of Napa's best and most sought after Cabernet, Diamond Creek has not surprisingly put forth a tremendous effort with the release of their 40th Anniversary bottlings. While only 1 wine has been rated, the 2012 Diamond Creek Red Rock Terrace received 99/100 from James Suckling, we are sure many more high scores are on their way. Now is the time to secure an iconic wine from an iconic vintage.
2012 Diamond Creek Cabrernet Sauvignons
On sale, net price
2012 Diamond Creek Red Rock Terrace...$169.99
2012 Diamond Creek Gravelly Meadow....$169.99
(12 bottles available)
Our second coolest micro-climate is our five-acre Gravelly Meadow vineyard. Originally a pre-historic river bed, this stony, gravelly soil drains rapidly and the vines struggle for moisture.
Gravelly Meadow is our lowest yielding vineyard. The wines are described as "earthy, cedary, jammy and ripe blackberry with a spicy expansive finish."
Volcanic Hill is the longest lived of our wines. Our winemaker describes these wines as "full bodied, loaded with intense ripe berry fruit, cassis, violets and a smoky richness, finishing with good length and firm tannins."
The Volcanic Hill bottling includes a small amount of the extra-ordinary Petit Verdot grape.

2012 Diamond Creek Volcanic Hill....$169.99
(18 bottles available)
Volcanic Hill is comprised of 8 acres of south facing hillside vineyard. It is the warmest of all our micro-climates. The color of the soil is gray, and the consistency is that of fluffy, volcanic ash, originally deposited from the eruption of Mt. Konocti 8 million years ago. Volcanic Hill is the longest lived of our wines. Our winemaker describes these wines as "full bodied, loaded with intense ripe berry fruit, cassis, violets and a smoky richness, finishing with good length and firm tannins."
