DCV does it again, continuing to impress. I must visit this region some day. Beautiful lush berries, cedar, vanilla bean followed by cassis and licorice. Big, bold, yet well integrated tannins that balance everything to perfection! Vintage2010

Light mustiness and red fruit on the attack. Raspberry jam attack with cherry cola resolution.

Lighter in tannin than expect, but had classic California Cabernet notes all over it.

The Dry Creek CS has a deep purple color, tempting aromas of sweet cherries, ripe plums, black olives, a touch of sweet port, and cedar wood, full body with full dry tannins, still very young and needs to open up. Quiet elegant in style and has good supporting acidity. Medium- long finish. My score 88, drink to 2023
