  Dry Creek Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

  Snoothrank: Starting at $26^.00

  What a lovely, medium-bodied cab with notes of red berries, raisins and a welcome hint of chocolate. Great balance with a nice, supple finish. Enjoyed with homemade meatloaf.

Read moreA bit of vanilla, chocolate and wood spice pop on the nose followed by lightly minty, sweetly herb touched notes of black olive and dried cherry with subtle earthy undertones. Really quite youthful in the mouth with a light medium full bodied feel that relies on supple tannins and well integrated acidity to support a core of fresh red fruit. There's a nice wrap of toast and spice lending some complexity but this is really quite primary today. the balance is really quite fine giving this fairly big wine elegance and a certain finesse on the finish. Soft and supple today. I wouldn't be surprised to see this tighten up and add some weight in the coming years. It gains some length and fine depth of fruit on the finish with just a bit of time already. Lovely effort. 91pts    (hide)

Read moreCola and spice on the nose with a nice herbal/carob background note framing somewhat wild berry fruit. The fruit is multifaceted with hints of juniper, boysenberry, blueberry and cherry. Super smooth and supple in the mouth though this has nicely refreshing acidity. Really light and elegant in the mouth with taut black cherry flavors and gentle spice notes. Not a wine that will wow you but it will draw you and keep you interested with its balance and finesse. Finesses with a lovely lightly jammy raspberry note that has a gentle cinnamon toast accent and a hint of bitter orange. 89pts    (hide)

Read moreHaving generally good experience with other Russian River Pinot Noirs, I picked this one randomly off the Gelson's shelf on the way to a dinner party. I just could not arrive empty handed. What a pleasant surprise it was! It's a medium body, slight leaning towards dark fruit rather than cherry. Tannin that should insure it holds up in the bottle for a few years to come. Overall, a very good choice for under $30.    (hide)

I have quite a few bottles of it. The wine has all of the boldness that I appreciate in a Dry Creek Valley zin. I'm not really good with describing wines, but I know what I like in Zinfandel - bold with a spicy finish, not too fruit-forward.    (hide)
