Diamond Creek Notes

Lake
Planted in 1972 on loose gravelly soil, the tiny 3/4 acre dry-farmed Lake Vineyard is the smallest and coolest vineyard on the Estate.

A RARE WINE PRODUCED ONLY IN THE FINEST VINTAGES
Lake is Diamond Creek’s smallest and coolest vineyard site, sitting at the western edge of the property on loose, gravelly soil. With its exposure to breezes coming through Mayacamas Canyon, this is the estate’s coolest area, and the Cabernet Sauvignon here is extraordinary, benefiting from extended hang time on the vine. We only produce a Lake Cabernet Sauvignon in exceptional years, and the grapes are typically harvested more than a month from the beginning of vendange.

Microclimate: Cool/coolest
Elevation: 600 ft
Soils: Rocky, well-drained
Aspect: Relatively flat

Tasting Notes
Lake shows beautiful red, black plum and cassis flavors, and fine tannins supported by a perfect thread of acidity.
