Winemaker Notes:
Our 2003
Dry Creek Valley Cabernet has been aged in both 100% new French (80%) and American Oak (20%) for 22 months. The bottling includes fruit from both our Estate and selected Dry Creek Valley vineyards. The blend of fruit from these multiple vineyards allows us to produce a wine that is dark, with flavors of black currant, black cherries, blackberries and plums. There are also subtle tastes of spice and tobacco. The combination of fruit and smooth tannins from barrel aging gives the wine a texture, complexity and finish that we know you are going to enjoy. Drink now or hold for a few years. This is a great wine to have with your favorite BBQ and meat dish.
