Diamond Creek Vineyards Volcanic Hill Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

$289.99

Among the original Cult Cabernets, Diamond Creek continues to amaze in 2016 with a trio of wines that must be included in any serious collector's stash as one of the most ageable Cabs in California.  98 Points Robert Parker:  "The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Volcanic Hill is a blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12.5% Merlot, 8.7% Malbec and 2.8% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it bursts with vibrant scents of wild blueberries, chocolate-covered cherries and boysenberries with hints of sassafras, fragrant earth, vanilla pod and underbrush, plus a waft of crushed rocks. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers fantastic purity and depth, offering firm, grainy tannins to support the bags of earth-laced black fruits, finishing long and mineral laced. 791 cases were made."

2018 vintage. Super-youthful but a beautiful body. Nuanced subtleties coming through on the palate but nothing in particular taking the reins and galloping ahead.
