Cabernet Sauvignon Dry Creek Valley

Cabernet Sauvignon Dry Creek Valley Wine Details
Price: $28.00 per bottle

Description: Dry Creek Valley has excellent soils and climate for the production of Cabernet Sauvignon wine. Our elevated eastern bench location gives us added advantage to grow fantastic Cabernet. Western afternoon sun carries late into the vineyard evening hours. Our thrifty soils yield moderate canopies that allows abundant sun into the fruit zone resulting in clean fruit, intense berry color and abounding flavors. Maximum fruit ripeness is consistently attained along with mature tannin. Our Cabs are consistent heavy medal winners with huge structure and intense dark garnet color. Earthy aromas, rich mouthfeel, flavors of blueberry, cherry, anise, cassis with subtle hints of chocolate, coffee and toast make this noble wine truly spectacular. Bold in alcohol yet well balanced without heat. Aged 22 months in 34% new oak. For the hearty beefeater.
