January 2007
Winter’s cold has officially arrived
here in wine
country. Late December brought us several
mornings of sub-freezing temperatures, which has
put the vines to sleep for the winter. Our
vineyard team continues to trim and cultivate
the vines in preparation for winter and,
eventually, spring budbreak. The wines from the
2006 vintage are now resting comfortably in
barrels (for those that see oak) and, in fact,
our 2006 Chenin Blanc, is already
available for tasting! With the tourist season
over, now is a terrific time to visit our
tasting room to try some of our new releases!
Please read on for more.

On January 2,
2007, we released the
highly anticipated 2004 Old Vine
Zinfandel. The 2003 vintage enjoyed
much critical acclaim, including 93
points and #17 in Wine Enthusiast
Magazine’s Top 100 Wines of 2006.
According to
winemaker Bill Knuttel, the 2004
vintage may even be a bit better
than 2003. "This is a very elegant
Zinfandel," says Bill. "It has
expressive blackberry fruit flavors
with excellent depth, balance, and
concentration. I’m very happy with
how this wine turned out."
This wine pairs beautifully with our
Featured
Recipe,
"Wild Mushroom Bisque."
With only 4,000
cases produced, this exclusive wine
will not last long. To order, Click
on the
Shop for
Dry Creek Wines
link at the top or call the winery
at 800-864-9463.
