Description

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.

About this wine

The 2015 Volcanic Hill is a monumental Cabernet Sauvignon from Diamond Creek's warmest site, offering deep, complex layers of dark fruits, minerals, and spice. Aged to perfection, it exhibits an elegant balance of power and finesse. Rich dark berry fruits, hints of chocolate and spice, with a smoky volcanic minerality and a long, lingering finish.

Volcanic Hill

The Volcanic Hill collection from Diamond Creek Vineyards showcases wines from the warmest microclimate of the estate's vineyards, receiving ample sunlight and excellent drainage. This vineyard is covered with volcanic ash, lending the wines a distinct minerality and rich flavor profiles.

Diamond Creek Vineyards

Diamond Creek Vineyards is a prestigious winery located in Napa Valley, renowned for producing limited quantities of high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon from distinct soil types. Founded in 1968 by Al Brounstein, a pioneer in single-vineyard expressions, the estate is divided into three main vineyards - Volcanic Hill, Red Rock Terrace, and Gravelly Meadow, each producing uniquely characterized wines due to their differing soil compositions and microclimates.
