Diamond Creek, Volcanic Hill, Cabernet Sauvignon--Vintage 1974
Napa Valley
Levels: one into neck, two bottom neck and one very top shoulder; two loose labels
Diamond Creek's 1974 Cabernets are, justifiably, highly renowned. The rich, plum color with amber at the edge is followed by a fabulous bouquet offering lavish quantities of sweet, jammy, cassis fruit, cedar, smoke, herbs, and other black fruits. The fruit is very ripe. Given the massive flavor extraction, the moderate tannin level is nearly submerged beneath the chewy, rich fruit. With a sweet, expansive, unctuously-textured palate, and a fabulous finish that lasts nearly a minute, this is a thrilling California Cabernet that is close to full maturity. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #94 (Aug 1994)
