Diamond Creek Red Rock Terrace Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, USA 2021
‘Red Rock Terrace’ Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 2021
A remarkable single-vineyard Cabernet from Diamond Creek, one of Napa Valley’s most historic and respected estates. Red Rock Terrace is prized for its iron-rich, red volcanic soils, producing wines with a distinctive combination of dark fruit, savory minerality and refined mountain structure. The 2021 vintage opens with blackcurrant, blackberry and dark plum, layered with red rose, graphite, bay leaf, licorice and earthy spice. Concentrated yet beautifully composed, the palate offers polished, fine-grained tannins, vibrant freshness and a long, persistent finish.

"The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Red Rock Terrace is a gorgeous, elegant wine that captures all the savory, feral and mineral qualities typical of this bottling, but with polished, refined tannins that are quite a departure from the past. Vivid and dynamic in the glass, with striking balance, the Red Rock Terrace is superb. The linear, tense finish is beautifully persistent, with floral top notes that echo." Vinous 97 |
