Diamond Creek Winery
It was Al Brounstein who founded Diamond Creek when he purchased a bush-covered 20-acre plot of land in 1966. He had some top vines smuggled in from Bordeaux and well his gravelly soils have never been the same since.
There are three distinct plots that are found on the Diamond Creek property with very different soils: Red Rock Terrace (high in iron), Volcanic Hill (that one is an obvious guess but volcanic ash is the answer), and Gravelly Meadow (this one is an even easier guess… gravel). Cabernet Sauvignon is king but there is a touch of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot that finds its way into the blend, all have their part to play along with the unique terroir to create these stunning wines.
