Diamond Creek Volcanic Hill 2017

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Volcanic Hill is composed of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Malbec and 5% Petit Verdot. It was aged for 22 months in 100% new French oak. Deep garnet-purple colored, it has pronounced notes of blackcurrant cordial, boysenberries, baked plums and kirsch with wafts of cloves, wild sage and woodsmoke. The full-bodied palate is a tad rustic in texture with a charry, acrid character on the finish, albeit with otherwise pleasant freshness and spiciness.
