4/21/2024 - mlawren1 wrote: 95 pointsGreat wine with deep rich flavors. Fruit is still young and fresh with raspberries, currants and strawberries draped over a solid core of earth and flint. Finish just keeps going. Wine has years to go. |

3/6/2024 - dcwino wrote: 95 pointsDinner with Paul and Jeff (The George Town Club - DC): Despite being forty years old, it remains very youthful character with an abundance of generous fruit. A hint of cassis but mostly red fruit, plum and cherry, scorched earth, lead pencil, a hint of green, leather and crushed rocks. Excellent concentration, generous red and black fruit, rich and unctuous but also fluid, perfect amount of acidity and mineral, and a long ripe red fruit driven finish with ash at the end. This reminds me the 92 Phillip Togni cab a bit, but more oaky, perhaps sweet American oak. May be a combination of Togni and Montebello. It doesn't have the complexity of a great Bordeaux but shows a lot of fruit. Really enjoyable and no need to hurry. |

3/19/2006 - VAGenius Likes this wine: NRPowerful and complex nose with layers of leather, gravel, and black pepper notes. Initial onslaught of herbs and licorice give way to plum and black cherry fruit followed by long, dry, smooth tannins. The WS review is right on track here and this wine shows that Diamond Creek is not always as austere as some of our previous examples have shown it to be. Could easily hold longer but delicious now. |

4/8/2018 - Mossrose wrote: 93 pointsOne of my favorite wines from a superb tasting of around 20 wines contributed and shared by 13 experienced wine lovers. Dark, deep, dense, and delicious. Superbly structured by acidity and tannin, which also helps make the wine be very ageworthy. Overall, a powerful wine that justifies the superior reputation of Diamond Mountain as a high altitude appellation. Wish I had bought all of this wine available back in 2005. |

10/19/2023 - wine.chung Likes this wine: 95 pointsThis was fantastic. Perfect condition and cork, classic nose of cassis, mocha, spice, and a freshness akin to watermelon rind or eucalyptus. Perfectly balanced at this point. We prefer wines with some fruit, and this hit the perfect balance between secondary and tertiary characters. |

10/18/2022 - OenophilistMN Likes this wine: 90 pointsOne-hour decant through a screened and aerating funnel. Aromas of boysenberry during decant. After resting, wine is clear; bright garnet from bowl to rim. Notes of blackberry, boysenberry and Epsom salts. In the mouth: smooth wine showcasing the aforementioned dark fruits, cherry, and hot cocoa. Tannins were still there but not an impediment to enjoyment. Medium-long finish, very nice. |

7/27/2023 - OmiyaDrinker wrote: 93 pointsInitially smells like a Bordeaux but on closer inspection some clear differences. With this, the fruit (blackcurrant) comes first and then the graphite or cedar 2nd. Some Eucalyptus and methol notes on the nose also mixed with some spice. Matching the colour, this tastes quite fresh on the palate. A couple of hours in the decanter helped this a lot for my preference. After a couple of hours, more tertiary flavours including leather. On the finish, again some spice with cinnamon and star anise. Still tannic but of a fantastic velvety quality with medium+ acid. This was very good but if you asked me whether I preferred this or the younger Diamond Creek's I've had, I'd say the latter. Will need to drink more Diamond Creek's to draw a conclusion on what this means. |

7/16/2023 - BellevuePhil Likes this wine: 95 pointsSpaghetti night...…I have a case, and of course needed to try just one....as I indulged in the allure of the 2016 Diamond Creek Red Rock Terrace Cabernet, I found myself immersed in a tapestry of refined flavors, rich emotions, and a harmonious blend of three distinct perspectives. Allow me to present a wine review from the standpoint of a wealthy member of upper gentile society, a hopeless romantic captivated by Napa Valley's enchanting allure, and a blues guitarist who finds solace in the soulful depths of music. |

The fruit faded a bit over several hours but still tasty. I had not tasted this before, and would not have been able to guess a napa cab--a revelation. |

5/27/2023 - cmartinelli wrote: NRStood upright for a day and a half. Quick 30 minute decant. Still a solid ruby core, fading into brick at the edges. Initially I get the expected mushroom/hoisin scents, but as this sits in the glass more aromas tease out: a stony/dusty scent. Dried cherries. Grilled herbs. A cedar/cigar interplay. Taking a taste, I'm surprised at how present the fruit is. We're talking more plummy than jammy, stewed rather than ripe, but it's still there. Still some acid left, I can't detect any tannins but I do get mint & tobacco on the lingering finish. Very much alive, if not on an upward trajectory. My first Diamond Creek, this was a real treat to drink. |
