Robert Parker Wine Advocate:

The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Red Rock Terrace is a blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc and was aged for 22 months in French oak, 100% new. Deep garnet-purple colored, the nose opens with profound notions of blueberry preserves, Black Forest cake and black olives with hints of camphor, pencil shavings and fragrant earth. Full-bodied, rich, ripe and concentrated, it has a solid structure of grainy tannins and a lively line of freshness, finishing long and perfumed. Drink Date 2020-2040. Rating 95+/100. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown -     

Vinous:

The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Red Rock Terrace is soft, open-knit and inviting, especially for a Diamond Creek wine. Inky red/purplish fruit, iron, cedar, tobacco, licorice, sweet French oak and dried herbs add pretty layers of nuance. The French oak (100% new) seems a bit much. It will be interesting to see how the 2017 develops in the coming years. Drink Date 2024-2037. Rating 93/100. - Antonio Galloni -    

James Suckling:

This is riper and richer than the other two single-vineyard reds from here with more density on the palate and a beautiful, velvety texture. It’s full and beautiful. Extremely long and luscious, but still reserved and not too flamboyant. Classic Red Rock Terrace. Give it a few years to come together completely. Better after 2022.

WineEnthusiast.com:

From a part of the property deep in rocky soils and rich in iron, this wine offers a wealth of herbal intensity and dusty rock. Light baking spices highlight the well-integrated oak, pillowy tannin structure and elegant black fruit, finishing in a cohesive, seamless whole of ripe balance.
