  Critic tasting note: "Dry Creek Vineyard keeps turning out the most drinkable, delicious Cabernets, at such a good price, and hardly anyone notices. Why? Because it's not from Napa. This wine is soft and rich, with briary blackberry, dark chocolate, coffee and spice flavors that finish completely dry. A sophisticated wine." - 90/100, Wine Enthusiast

This wine is soft and rich, with briary blackberry, dark chocolate, coffee and spice flavors that finish completely dry. A sophisticated wine.
