The 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Red Rock Terrace is a powerful, deep wine. It has aged at a glacial pace, which is great news for readers who still own bottles. Red berry fruit, iron, cedar, tobacco, licorice and incense build as this rich, potent Cabernet shows off its character. Hints of rose petal, kirsch, hard candy, tobacco and cedar linger. I find it hard to suggest a 20 year old Cabernet needs more time, but the 2001 is still young!

About the Producer
Diamond Creek, California's first "Cabernet only" estate vineyard, was established in 1968. Visionary pioneer, Al Brounstein, defied modern convention and planted Bordeaux varietals on secluded Diamond Mountain. The three distinct soil types on theis 20-acre property produce different single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons. Light ash soild of Volcanic Hill is in sharp contrast to the iron-rich Red Rock Terrace and the pebbly Gravelly Meadow. Each year, the estate produces a small amount of long-lived wines that are revered by connoisseurs the world over.
