  2 Hour decant
  
  Sour cherries and cranberries; good strength and body but somewhat linear flavor profile. Red fruit forward but lacking acid. A california cabernet and the softer side

  1 hour decant off restaurant list
  
  Dark red fruit and spice, nice density and lift. Improved with time and continued to increase in penetration and length. Quite good but upside from here. 93/94

  I consumed a bottle of ‘15 Red Rock Terrace back in May and it was much more approachable and on an advanced evolutionary track than the ‘14. As a result of this tasting, I will hold my remaining bottles of ‘14. This bottle was decanted for 90 minutes and consumed over an additional 2 hours. It is a beautiful wine and has all of the stuffing to age. It is just too primary for my palate especially knowing what a Diamond Creek can become.

  Beginning to mellow. Drinking really well. Still structured and too young but early drinking. Fruit more BlackBerry and blueberry. Ripe tannins. Good acidity. Fruit still big.

  Decanted and aerated. Complex dark red fruit nose with a hint of minerals. Soft texture and light tannins. Slightly chalky with very balanced oak. Very complex dark fruit that lingers unchanged for an extended period. Simply yummy!
