Diamond Creek, Cabernet Sauvignon, Red Rock Terrace 1990 (4 bts) [Multiple Vineyard Listing] Diamond Creek, Cabernet Sauvignon, Red Rock Terrace 1990 (4 bts) u. 1vts, 1 slightly stained label Diamond Creek, Cabernet Sauvignon, Volcanic Hill 1990 (5 bts) u. 1bn, 1vts, 1ts Diamond Creek, Cabernet Sauvignon, Gravelly Meadow 1990 (3 bts) Lot 360 12 bts (oc) per lot: USD 1000-1500 When, in 1968, the late Al Brounstein bought 70 acres of land on Diamond Mountain, in the northern Mayacamas Range of Napa, he noticed three distinctly different soil types as well as a diversity of exposure to the sun. There is also a tiny area round the Lake which, in some years, is made separately as Lake. A thumbnail sketch of each vineyard gives an idea of the scale of things. Red Rock Terrace, 7 acres with reddish-brown soil. Gravelly Meadow, 5 acres with gravel, sand soil and a cooler climate. Volcanic Hill, 8 acres of south-facing hillside vineyard with white volcanic ash. Lake, a 3/4 acre vineyard with gravel, sand soil and the coolest microclimate- usually blended into Gravelly Meadow, except in outstanding years. Production lies between 2500 and 3500 cases a year, one reason for Diamond Creek's comparatively rare appearance at auction - another reason is that perhaps wine lovers actually drink the stuff! One can see why. Serena Sutcliffe, MW Quantity: 1
