"Year after year Diamond Creek, under the direction of Boots Brounstein, is at the top of the pinnacle of California's cabernets. I would love to know the secret to their amazing consistency. This year's bottling is silky and supple under a light veil of tannins with some black cherry and violet aromas and flavors persisting through the long smooth finish. "
2007 Diamond Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Volcanic Hill in The Wine Corner by Pierre DuMont, Piedmont Post, June 9, 2010

"Tasted just recently, the wine sang, thumbing its nose in the face of some Twittering folk who warned the Cabernet might have fallen apart. The aroma was piercing, the graphite compelling. A sip-or in this case a bottle-and a delicious dehydrated prune (think hamantaschen filling), sweetened with a memory of acacia honey, made the wine go down easy."

"The combination of the precocious young vines and deep-rooted 40-year-olds produced the most beautiful and compelling California cabernet I have ever tasted on release."

98 points - "A California beauty, this wine is driven by fruit from the moment it's first poured, supercharged with energy ....the tension between fruit and earth in Red Rock Terrace is particularly awesome on release."
2005 Diamond Mountain District Napa Valley Red Rock Terrace Cabernet Sauvignon in Wine & Spirits

97 points - "The fruit grows increasingly wild, untamed and energized as it takes on air, red cherry and strawberry with the fatness of petit verdot. The fine tannins add a sagebrush flavor to the wine, seeming to add the scent of the California hills."
