Volcanic Hill Vineyard

Volcanic Hill is comprised of 8 acres of south facing hillside vineyard.  It is the warmest of all our microclimates.  The color of the soil is gray, and the consistency is that of fluffy, volcanic ash, originally deposited from the eruption of Mt. Konocti 8 million years ago. 

Volcanic Hill is the longest lived of our wines. Our winemaker describes these wines as “full bodied, loaded with intense ripe berry fruit, cassis, violets and a smoky richness, finishing with good length and firm tannins.”

Our 1999 Volcanic Hill bottling includes 2% of the extraordinary Petit Verdot grape.

James Laube of the Wine Spectator praised the 1997 Diamond Creek Vineyards Volcanic Hill as– “dense, chewy and packed with flavor…awesome!”
