Diamond Creek Vineyards
Three Vineyard Blend Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Three Vineyard Blend is an experimental wine that was bottled a few times in Diamond Creek's history, but never officially commercially released. The 2013, a blend of 70% Volcanic Hill, 25% Red Rock Terrace, and 5% Gravelly Meadow is superb. What a wine. Rich, powerful and savory, the 2013 is just starting to enter the place where it is approachable, in relative terms of course. There is still plenty of hillside tannin, and yet there is so much about the 2013 that is alluring. The aromatic breadth, the intensity of the fruit and the wine's persistence are all so compelling. Wow. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, January 2021)

Wow! This is a balanced, velvety expression of this iconic vineyard. Limited production, literally only three barrels and this is only the second time and maybe the last time the wine maker will do this. Such a treat!

Served blind at the winery, the wine is stunningly balanced for a young cabernet! With time this will be a perfect 10, bravo!

Mar 30th, 2018Wine of the weekend! Only the second time in Diamond Creek’s illustrious history when they’ve blended fruit from all three vineyards. Having tasted all three ‘13s (which are all outstanding wines — RP gave 98, 99, 100 I believe), this bottling is my favorite. Drinking remarkably well today and will just get better with time. Thank you for opening and sharing with us, Cidy!

A blend of their famous (3) vineyards. You know them and you love them!....Volcanic Hill (my favorite), Gravely Meadow and Red Rock Terrace. A rare sight and an amazing wine. Had it first and then dissected it by tasting each vineyard separately. It is truly the best of all three pulled together! Grab it while you can!
