Diamond Creek

Volcanic Hill
Volcanic Hill is comprised of 8 acres of south facing hillside vineyard. It is the warmest of all the microclimates. The color of the soil is gray, and the consistency is that of fluffy, volcanic ash, originally deposited from the eruption of Mt. Konocti 8 million years ago.

Gravelly Meadow
The second coolest microclimate is the five-acre Gravelly Meadow vineyard. Originally a prehistoric river bed, this stony, gravelly soil drains rapidly and the vines struggle for moisture.

Red Rock Terrace
Red Rock Terrace, a warm microclimate, is 7 acres of north facing vineyard. The red tinted soil is high in iron content. The wine from Red Rock Terrace is the most accessible and earliest drinkable of all the wines.
