2002 Diamond Creek Cabernet Sauvignon - Volcanic Hill ($175)
(USA / California / Napa / Diamond Mountain )
 
Reviewed by: iheidt
Rated: 92 + pts
 
Color: Purple.
Aroma: Dark Fruits. Blackberry. Black Currant.
Flavor: Dark Fruits. Blackberry. Black Currant.
Profile: Crisp Acidity. Unbalanced. Complex. Smooth Mouthfeel. Rich Extracted Body. Moderate Heavy Tannin. Long Finish.
 
More fruit-forward than the 2001 Diamond Creek the 2002s are across the board more approachable at an earlier age. The Volcanic Hill vineyard wine is a deeply extracted, robust wine. Aromas and flavors of simple dark and red fruits, with no one characteristic that overpowers the next. Again caught a bit of a medicinal flavor in the aftertaste, pulling the score down slightly.
