Merchant's description

Diamond Creek Volcanic Hill 1985 is a distinguished single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, produced by Diamond Creek Vineyards. This wine is sourced from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes cultivated on the rugged volcanic soils of the Volcanic Hill vineyard. The 1985 growing season was marked by a cool spring and a warm, dry summer, favouring balanced ripening. The wine spent nearly two years in oak barrels, resulting in a structured palate with potential for further development.
