  Sweet fruit bomb, even with age. Cocktail cab. Blech.

  Color in glass a deep, dark opacity with minimal brick reddish-orange at the edge. Meritage blend of black fruit initially appreciated in the nose.
  Sweet and velvety yet fairly horizontal mouthfeel with earthy sun-lit soil in the periphery, medium light viscosity drying out through the late finish.
  Presence of nearly intrusive tannins drying the mouth that are relaxing over the first hour and which will likely be well-tempered with steak tips later this evening. To be continued:
  With steak tips and mushrooms the wine’s fruit becomes more unctuous and fleshes out appreciably bestowing a silkier and less dry mouthfeel. $21.99 in Missouri that made the trip back to Maine. If you seek a Bordeaux style Cabernet based wine, despite the 14.5% alcohol level for this vintage, Dry Creek delivers.

  Currant on nose, med to full body, slight chalkiness on the finish, then lingers nicely. Not a fruit bomb

  Excellent cab served with grilled steak. I keep buying this wine and have never been disappointed.
