DIAMOND CREEK CABERNET SAUVIGNON VOLCANIC HILL 2013 (6) 100 WA
Lot 172 Details
DIAMOND CREEK CABERNET SAUVIGNON VOLCANIC HILL 2013
Napa Valley.

From the biggest of the three vineyards, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Volcanic Hill comes from pure volcanic, iron-rich, rocky white tufa of volcanic origin. Marginally speaking, this is bluer and blacker than the Red Rock Terrace or Gravelly Meadow. A tour de force of perfection, this wine offers up crème de cassis, blueberry liqueur, licorice, earth, truffle and graphite. It displays spectacular richness, magnificent balance and texture, and a long, incredibly pure finish of close to a minute. This remarkable, full-bodied elixir should drink beautifully for another 30+ years, if not longer. December 2016 100 WA


6 bts. per lot $2,200 - $2,600

Realised: $2,280
