Diamond Creek Notes

Volcanic Hill
Planted in 1968 on light, fluffy, ashy soil, the Volcanic Hill Vineyard comprises approximately 8 acres of the Estate.

AN EMINENTLY AGE-WORTHY CABERNET
Volcanic Hill is a south-facing hillside vineyard. The consistency of the grey soil is that of light, fluffy ash originally deposited from ancient volcanic eruptions. Volcanic Hill sits in the estate’s warmest microclimate. The site often produces Diamond Creek’s most powerful and long-lived wine.

Microclimate: Warmest
Elevation: 530-610 ft
Soils: White, fluffy volcanic ash
Aspect: South-facing

Tasting Notes
Volcanic Hill is a full-bodied Cabernet with ripe berry fruit, smoky richness, scented earth and elegant tannins that make the wine alluring in youth but eminently age-worthy.
