Diamond Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Red Rock Terrace 2019

2 units available online.
Product description

Red iron soils yield a rich, opulent expressive nose of blueberry, red plum, mulberry, cassis, salty red licorice and subtle iron filing wafts. There is a brighter, more fragrant red fruited feel to the steeply terraced fruit, which naturally receives less direct sunlight.  

The palate, too, is a picture of elegance and restraint with cool elegant layers of spicy red and black berry fruits, spicy red plum, hints of graphite, crème brûlée and buttered brown toast smothered in red currant jam. The tannins are subtly drying and sophisticated but lifted by a wonderfully fresh frame of vivacious acids—another beautiful expression of Cabernet Sauvignon.

75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, 4% Malbec and 1% Cabernet Franc.

98 Points - James Suckling

Very bright and aromatic with blackcurrants, lilacs and red currants. So perfumed. Full-bodied and layered with a fine-velvet tannin structure. Hints of new wood and sandalwood. Creamy texture. Such beauty. Juicy. Best after 2025.
