Located on Diamond Mountain in the northern Mayacamas Range of Napa Valley, the Diamond Creek property has three separate vineyards, each with a distinct microclimate and soil type. Top quality Cabernet Sauvignon is Diamond Creek's goal, so the land is planted primarily with Cabernet Sauvignon, along with some Merlot and Cabernet Franc for blending. The first crop came in 1972 and the wine was made by Jerry Luper. After harvesting the first crop, it was determined that there were sufficient differences between the three vineyard lots to warrant separate bottlings, and thus was born Diamond Creek's unique program of vineyard designated wines: Red Rock Terrace, Volcanic Hill and Gravelly Meadow Cabernet Sauvignons.
