2004 |
Gravelly Meadow Cabernet Sauvignon  Signs of Old Seepage |
$199 |
1 |
|
| |
| WS 83 (10/2007): Chewy and concentrated, with earthy tannins that are dry and astringent, showing little fruit character at this point. This typically needs time to come around, so best to cellar. Best from 2012 through 2020. 290 cases made. |

2005 |
Gravelly Meadow Cabernet Sauvignon Slightly Raised Cork; Lightly Bin-Soiled Label |
$229 |
1 |
|
| |
| WS 81 (10/2008): Lean and drying, with herb, sage, loamy berry and tealike flavors and tannins give it a tired feel. Drink now through 2012. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 366 cases made. |
|
|
1993 |
Red Rock Terrace Cabernet Sauvignon |
$249 |
1 |
|
| |
| WS 85 (12/1995): Medium-bodied, intense and tannic, with a modest core of currant, cedar and berry notes. Comes across as lacking richness and concentration. |
|
|
2003 |
Red Rock Terrace Cabernet Sauvignon |
$225 |
1 |
|
| |
| VM 95 (5/2024): The 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Red Rock Terrace is gorgeous today. Cedar, spice, tobacco, menthol and mocha lend tons of aromatic breadth. The tannins have softened, making this quite approachable today. Star anise, cinnamon and orange peel lend an exotic flair. This is an especially aromatic, mid-weight vintage for the Volcanic Hill. (Drink between 2023-2033). Antonio Galloni. |

Volcanic Hill Cabernet Sauvignon Slightly Depressed Cork |

WS 90 (2/2001): Dark, rich and concentrated, yielding a complex array of currant, black cherry, olive, cedar and spice, finishing with supple but firm tannins.--California Cabernet retrospective. Drink now through 2009. 981 cases made.
WA 82 (6/1992): I expected the 1990 and 1991 Cabernets from Diamond Creek to perform better. While they are certainly good, they are much lighter than what one has come to expect from this winery. On several occasions recently I have had the 1978s from Diamond Creek, which are among the greatest Cabernet-based wines I have tasted from anywhere in the world. It is hard to believe these current offerings will ever approach the richness and intensity that this estate's wines exhibited from the seventies to the mid-eighties. Could the wines be going through a temporarily awkward stage, or are they being made in a lighter, more easily accessible style? The 1990 Volcanic Hill is much lighter than the 1991, with an oaky, spicy nose, simple, straightforward, medium-bodied flavors, and a surprisingly short finish. I would opt for drinking it over the next 7-8 years. |

| WS 85 (5/2003): Despite its dark color, this comes across as a bit one-dimensional, with candied cherry, dry herb and earthy-anise flavors that are appealing if lacking in focus and complexity.--'92 California Cabernet retrospective. Drink now through 2006. 1,400 cases made. |
