1989 Diamond Creek Red Rock Terrace Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, USA

Founded in 1968, Diamond Creek is California's first exclusively Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Vineyard. Red Rock Terrace, a warm microclimate, is 7 acres of north facing vineyard. The red tinted soil is high in iron content and the wine from Red Rock Terrace is the most accessible and earliest drinkable of all their wines. Their winemaker describes Red Rock Terrace as having "velvety tannins, a rich and well balanced body, a medium dark ruby color with cherry, mint and black currant flavors."
