Mdium+ ruby. Menthol, allspice, green bell pepper, tomato leaf on top of a red fruit core; oak influence is evident. Medium body with a good dose of chewy tannins (this is not a Sonoma smoothie) that drive a long mouth coating finish. This was like a new world/old world hybrid. I wish I had more.

This winery is seriously under appreciated. This wine still has ample structure with drying, dusty tannins. The nose is classic, perfectly ripe Cabernet with no vegetal notes. The palate is dark fruit and cocoa with a long finish.

Great value wine from Dry Creek. Stands shoulder to shoulder with any Napa entry-level Cab (thinking Franciscan or even Mt. Veeder).
