Description

If you are a wine connoisseur, you know that Diamond Creek Winery is classified as one of the 25 great wineries in the world!  You may not find an available vintage like this ever again.  These three 1985 magnums of Diamond Creek cabernet have been with the original purchaser and in cold srorage since purchase.


 Founded in 1968, Diamond Creek is California's first exclusively Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Vineyard. Visionary pioneer Al Brounstein defied modern conventions and planted Bordeaux varietals on secluded Diamond Mountain. The three vineyards produce a small amount of long-lived wines that are elegant with great depth and richness, honored and cherished by connoisseurs the world over. Taste the differences imparted to the wine by the distinct soils and micro-climates of Diamond Creek Vineyards.


Diamond Mountain is located in the Mayacamas Range in the northeastern side of Napa Valley. Because of the high elevation of this area, the vineyards are allowed to grow and ripen without the influences of the fog that typically covers the valley floor during the growing season. The vineyard is over 30 years old and planted in rocky volcanic soil and consequently produces a low volume of high quality fruit; a much more concentrated, powerful intense fruit - exactly what you need for a great cabernet.
