Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% each Malbec and Petit Verdot, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Red Rock Terrace features a dusting of dried spices over a bed of mixed red and black cherries. It's medium to full-bodied, firmly structured but ripe. Yes, the cherries and red raspberries on the lingering finish are coated in dusty tannins, but the wine is still not completely unapproachable.

Description
Diamond Creek Red Rock Terrace has established itself as one of California's most iconic wines. This wine comes from the Red Rock Terrace Vineyard, planted in 1968 on soil rich in iron and red rocks. This vineyard covers approximately 2.80 hectares of the estate vineyard. The reddish-tinged, oxidised iron-rich soil, along with its north-facing orientation, allows the grapes to receive less direct sunlight, resulting in a wine with unique characteristics.
Winemaking
The elaboration of this wine begins with a careful selection of berries that undergo a cold maceration for 4 to 5 days. Subsequently, the must ferments for 7 to 9 days, is pressed and the wine is transferred to selected new French oak barrels where it ages for 20 months.
Prior to bottling, the final blend consists of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, followed by 16% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, 4% Malbec and 1% Cabernet Franc.
Taste
Diamond Creek Red Rock Terrace is distinguished by its finesse and vibrant palate. It displays notes of red cherry, fir and coffee bean. On the palate, flavours of raspberry, cassis and plum extend into hints of graphite, mineral, cedar, tapenade and menthol. All of this is complemented by firm, elegant tannins, culminating in a long, savoury finish.
