Product Description

"The 2007 vintage will go down as perhaps one of the finest vintages in the past 20 years. A near perfect set in the vineyard was followed by superb growing conditions in the early and late spring months. The weather remained warm and dry during the growing and harvest seasons, with moderate temperatures, allowing the grapes to achieve full maturity and flavor potential.
Cabernet Sauvignon in the Dry Creek Valley is relatively undiscovered. Primarily known for Zinfandel, the valley actually has more Cabernet Sauvignon planted than any other varietal. The region’s terroir provides unique aromas and flavors to our Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. Bright cherry and black berry fruit, framed by floral and spice elements, create wines that speak to the distinctiveness of our home appellation." - Winery Notes

Dry Creek Vineyards Cabernet 2007 Tasting Notes

"The 2007 Dry Creek Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is classic Dry Creek Valley Cabernet. At first swirl, deep aromas of raspberry, sage and dried floral elements come forward. On the palate, these aromas combine 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. Truly a blockbuster wine from an incredible vintage!" - Winemaker Notes
