    Diamond Creek

    Diamond Creek has been acquired by Louis Roederer following the sad passing of Adelle "Boots" Brounstein in 2019.  This Napa icon is added to a glittering list of properties that includes Château Pichon Lalande in Pauillac and Merry Edwards in Sonoma.

    Diamond Creek was founded on Diamond Mountain by Al and Boots Brounstein in 1967. The first vines were planted in 1968.  Incredibly, Brounstein smuggled the original vines cuttings from Bordeaux into California (via Mexico) and contrary to the fashion at the time, where vines were mainly planted on the Napa Valley floor, planted on 32 hectares of the steep-sided slopes of the mountain.

    The new winery’s site-specific, Burgundian “Cru” approach to making Cabernet Sauvignon was also revolutionary in California at the time.  Diamond Creek was the first Napa winery to make a wine exclusively from Cabernet Sauvignon and, at the time, they were only the second producer in the state to use vineyard designations on their labels.  Diamond Creek wines have been made using the same small scale, hand-made approach ever since, always from 100% estate-grown fruit. It was Al’s vision, determination and conviction that led Diamond Creek’s “Cru Cabernets” to preface the rise of the Cult Cabs in California.

    The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Gravelly Meadow is ample and full in feel. Dark fruit, scorched earth, licorice, chocolate, spice, leather and menthol fill out the layers effortlessly. Somber and brooding, the Gravelly Meadow has a lot going on. It clearly needs time to be at its best. Firm hillside tannins add to a feeling of gravitas. There is real weight and substance here.

    A stunning, vivid wine, the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Red Rock Terrace jumps from the glass with exotic red-toned fruit. Pomegranate, plum, mint and floral notes meld together in a rich, resonant wine endowed with tons of flesh and pure volume. The combination of fruit, acidity and structure is so divine that the Red Rock could be enjoyed today, although ideally it is best cellared for at least another decade or so.

    Vinous (97)

    The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Red Rock Terrace opens with a striking bouquet redolent of crushed red berry fruit, cinnamon, blood orange and mint. Medium in body and silky, with tremendous fruit purity, the 2019 impresses with its finesse and open-knit personality. There's good energy and tension, but the Red Rock in 2019 is, unusually, a wine of total sensuality. I loved it.
