Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Volcanic Hill is a 313-case blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Petit Verdot. Scents of crushed stone accent plummy, black cherry fruit on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate includes some cooling overtones to the dark fruit. Ripe, silky and long on the finish, it expresses Napa fruit while remaining supremely elegant.

Description
Diamond Creek Volcanic Hill comes from the renowned Diamond Creek Vineyards, located in the Diamond Mountain District of northern Napa Valley, California. Founded in the 1960s by Al Brounstein, Diamond Creek Vineyards' philosophy is based on the belief that different soils impart distinctive flavours to wine. The Volcanic Hill Vineyard, planted in 1968, sits on light, fluffy, ashy soil, occupying approximately 3 hectares of the total Diamond Creek estate.
Winemaking
The meticulous selection of the grapes begins with a cold maceration of 4 to 5 days, followed by fermentation lasting 7 to 9 days. Once fermentation is complete, the grapes are pressed and transferred to 100% new French oak barrels for an ageing period of 20 months.
Prior to bottling, the final blend is made up of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, 7% Malbec and 3% Petit Verdot.
Taste
Diamond Creek Volcanic Hill presents itself with deep, seductive aromas of dark fruits, black tea, liquorice and perfumed earth. From the first sip, its enveloping texture reveals a dark fruit profile of blackcurrant, pomegranate and cocoa, complemented by notes of blackberry brioche, blood orange, cedar and coffee. Lustrous tannins and a long, narrative finish make this wine an unforgettable experience.
