Diamond Creek was acquired by the Rouzaud family of Champagne Louis Roederer in March 2020. The 2ha Gravelly Meadow vineyard sits at 170m in one of the Diamond Creek estate’s cooler microclimates, on the pebbly, free-draining soils of an ancient riverbed. After a ‘a near-perfect’ growing season, the 2018 vintage is based on 79% Cabernet Sauvignon with portions of Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot, aged in 100% new French oak for 21 months. Michelle Cherutti-Kowal MW: Lots of blackcurrant, very ripe, rich mouthfeel, tannins very high, quite austere and chalky, oak well integrated. James Doidge MW: Sherbet and strawberry aromas, intense blackcurrant, strawberry and black pepper, vanilla and coffee. Long, lush. Stefan Neumann MS: Charming, inviting style, notes of mint, green tea, some lemon and/or orange blossom. Balanced, mellow, top-notch.
