Winemaker Comments:
The 2008 Dry Creek Vineyard Cabernet
Sauvignon displays elegant aromas of raspberry, sage and dried
flowers. On the palate, the flavors intermingle with black
cherry and chocolate creating a mouthful of silky,
well-integrated tannins. With some airing, the wine fleshes out
even more providing dimension, depth and length. The finish
lingers on for more than a minute with fine tannins that are
very elegant and structured. Simply delicious!
