Connoisseurs Guide to Wine 91
"The most open and accessible of the Diamond Creek bunch, the bottling from Volcanic Hill sports suggestions of ripe berries along with the usual cassis and leans a little more to ripeness than either of its mates. It too is tannic, but not to quite the same measure, and its direct and somewhat juicier style makes for easy predictions that it will be the earliest maturing of this impressive trio. Limited production and/or limited geographic distribution."
