The 2018 Red Rock Terrace Cabernet Sauvignon is another stunning wine from Diamond Creek in this vintage. It instantly begins to impress with its seductive aromatics of ripe black cherries, blackberries and black plums, which are woven together with violets, loam and dusty minerals that round out the aromatics. On the palate this offers an elegant, full-bodied texture with beautifully round, polished tannins that result in a seamless mouthfeel that is plush and layered. It continues to impress as it demonstrates excellent overall balance, with a wonderful sense of freshness as it delivers loads of delicious ripe red and dark fruits, along with sweet spices and earthy characteristics that all build up to the long graceful finish. This is absolutely stunning now and will be ready to approach upon release, however it should also offer years of drinking pleasure ahead.
