Diamond Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Volcanic Hill 2018

Volcanic Hill is the longest-lived of the Diamond Creek Cabernet Sauvignon wines. Full bodied, loaded with intense ripe berry fruit, cassis, violets and a smoky richness, finishing with good length and firm tannins.

98+ Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Volcanic Hill is a blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12.5% Merlot, 8.7% Malbec and 2.8% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple coloured, it bursts with vibrant scents of wild blueberries, chocolate-covered cherries and boysenberries with hints of sassafras, fragrant earth, vanilla pod and underbrush, plus a waft of crushed rocks. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers excellent purity and depth, offering firm, grainy tannin to support the bags of earth-laced black fruits, finishing long and mineral-laced.

97 Points - James Suckling

Blackberries, blueberries, pine needles and lots of blue fruit. Full-bodied with layers of soft tannins that are meshed and finely integrated. Creamy. Bright and friendly. Best after 2025.
