Producer Information

Diamond Creek Vineyards is a pioneering wine producer located in the Diamond Mountain sub-appellation of Napa Valley. Founded in 1968, it was the first winery in California to exclusively produce wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon. It produces terroir-focused wines from different sites in Diamond Mountain. The winery was founded by Al and “Boots” Brounstein. Al, the former owner of a successful pharmaceutical business in Los Angeles, got into wine when taking a class at UCLA on French wine appreciation. After working a few harvests at Ridge Vineyards, he decided that he wanted to have his own property. He visited a then unplanted property on Diamond Mountain. After consulting with the famed Andre Tchelistcheff and Louis Martini, he purchased it and planted it all to Cabernet Sauvignon. After Al passed away in 2006, Boots ran the winery with her son Phil Ross until her death in 2019. The following year the business was acquired by the Rouzaud family of Maison Louis Roederer, who had known the Brounstein family since the 1990s.
