Diamond Creek, Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Volcanic Hill 2014

The highlight in this range, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Volcanic Hill is the biggest and most dramatic of these wines. It is also the wine in this range that plays more true to type. An exotic mélange of crème de cassis, crushed rocks, menthol, licorice, liquefied rocks and blueberry jam run through this sumptuous, full-bodied Cabernet. Diamond Creek fans will flip out over the 2014, as it captures all the signatures of this great site and yet won’t take years (or decades) to be at its best. Today, the Volcanic Hill is super impressive, not to mention flat-out delicious.
