Diamond Creek Red Rock Terrace 1996 is a single-vineyard Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, distinguished by its firm structure and minerality. Aromas of dried blackcurrant meld with subtle hints of graphite and herbal undertones, providing a complex aromatic profile. The palate showcases a robust tannic backbone, which significantly shapes the wine’s character, resulting in a focus on savoury elements rather than sweetness. Founded in 1972 by Al Brounstein, Diamond Creek is one of the pioneering wineries in Napa Valley, renowned for its commitment to producing site-specific wines.
