David Coffaro
Estate Cuvée Red Blend
Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Solid blend from Dave Coffaro. Zin, Cab, carignan, and Petite Sirah. Enjoyable young but will age nicely. Beautiful dark color, plenty of oak and bramble fruits. This was aged for 16 months in a barrel. This is a big, bold and balanced wine. Drink or hold.

My last bottle, this has that awful synthetic cork that was going around in the mid-to-late 1990s, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Zinfandel, 27% Carignan, and 12% Petite Sirah, very red-fruited, but that synthetic cork has robbed this of complexity, OK.

Sep 28th, 2024Lovely mature redfruits, solid still on the palate, hate that synthetic cork they used this vintage and another, but wine is still in pretty nice shape, bravo to Pat and Dave Coffaro for such a lovely blended Dry Creek Valley wine!!

Aug 31st, 2016Fabulous vintage for this wine, still shows some Zin spice aromatically and on palate, but with depth and structure of the Cabernet, surprisingly youthful still, long finish, terrific!!
