Since 2002, we have worked earnestly to produce impressively flavored Cabernet Sauvignon that is a true representation of Dry Creek Valley terroir. The 2006 vintage of our Cabernet Sauvignon displays impressive aromas of bright cherry, cola, and dried flower elements – all representative of our region. On the palate, this wine is very opulent displaying black stone fruit characters and silky smooth tannins. Palate filling flavors of sweet currant, black cherry, and cocoa are perfectly balanced with well-integrated oak nuances. This delicious wine should age beautifully for a decade or more.
