Dry Creek Vineyard
Dry Creek Valley Merlot
Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Wonderfully aged Merlot with cigar box and cloves on the nose. Rich plums, cocoa, and soft tannins on the palette. Holding up very well. Drink in the next two years. 2004 vintage.

V09. Mashed raspberry nose. Juicy blackberry fruit. Nice soft leather and earth finish. Good entertaining, and dining wine. Well done.

Memories of Christmas 2016 in Dry Creek Valley evoked by this 2013 bottle. Young but a fine match for dinner.
