Diamond Creek is one of Napa Valley's most historic estates. Today, the wines are quite a bit more contemporary in style, which makes them more approachable than the massively tannic, brooding wines of the 1970s that built the estate's reputation. Yields are lower, fruit is picked a bit riper and the wines see more new oak. Even so, these are some of the most tannic, structured wines readers will come across in Napa Valley. The Gravelly Meadow and Volcanic Hill vie for top honors in 2013, but the truth is all three of these wines are fabulous.
