94 RP "...With a sweet, expansive, unctuously-textured palate, and a fabulous finish that lasts nearly a minute…" 94 RP "Diamond Creek's 1974 Cabernets are, justifiably, highly renowned. The rich, plum color with amber at the edge is followed by a fabulous bouquet offering lavish quantities of sweet, jammy, cassis fruit, cedar, smoke, herbs, and other black fruits. The fruit is very ripe. Given the massive flavor extraction, the moderate tannin level is nearly submerged beneath the chewy, rich fruit. With a sweet, expansive, unctuously-textured palate, and a fabulous finish that lasts nearly a minute, this is a thrilling California Cabernet that is close to full maturity."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
