Diamond Creek VineyardsDiamond Creek Vineyards has four distinctly different vineyards that yield equally singular Cabernet Sauvignons. Even though the vineyards of Diamond Creek share many personality traits, their individual characteristics become quite apparent. Volcanic Hill is comprised of 8 acres of
south facing hillside vineyard. It is the warmest of all our
microclimates. The color of the soil is gray, and the consistency is
that of fluffy, volcanic ash, originally deposited from the eruption
of Mt. Konocti 8 million years ago.
Red Rock Terrace, a warm microclimate, is 7
acres of north facing vineyard. The red tinted soil is high in iron
content. The wine from Red Rock Terrace is the most accessible and
earliest drinkable of all our wines.
Our second coolest microclimate is our
five-acre Gravelly Meadow vineyard. Originally a prehistoric river
bed, this stony, gravelly soil drains rapidly and the vines struggle
for moisture. |
