Lot #659. Diamond Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Volcanic Hill 2010

Description: Consists of 4 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 96+ RP.
"The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Volcanic Hill comes from 8 acres planted in the white tufa/volcanic soils that make a sharp contrast with the red, iron-rich soils of Red Rock Terrace and the gravel-filled soils of Gravelly Meadow. This cuvee tends to be the most explosive and richest of the Diamond Creek Cabs. The deep ruby/purple-tinged 2010 Volcanic Hill is more restrained and reserved on the nose. That restraint is unleashed in the mouth as this is the richest, fullest-bodied and most concentrated of this trio. Lots of blackberry, cassis, smoke and meaty barbecue notes can be found in this titan of a Cabernet Sauvignon. The finish is very long." Wine Advocate #209, Oct 2013
Provenance: The Mont Blanc Cellar
Notes: Inventory sticker on capsules, 1 nicked label.
