âThe 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Volcanic Hill has a saturated ruby/purple color thatâs generally as dense and dark as the Red Rock Terrace. Deep crème de cassis, crushed rock, spring flower and blueberry notes are all present. This full-bodied wine is deep, backward, and probably just as young and youthful for a ten-year-old as the Red Rock Terrace. With plenty of tannin, beautiful fruit and great purity, this should turn into something special as well, but it needs another five or more years of bottle age. Itâs hard to pick a favorite between this and the Red Rock Terrace, but if youâre looking for earlier drinkability, Gravelly Meadow wins hands-down.â
