  A 100% varietal expression of the grape, this is soft and simple, medium bodied and quite tannic, with highlights of green herb and tomato leaf.

  Extra time in bottle seems to have served this vineyard-designate well, allowing it to meld truffle, black pepper and leather with juicy black fruit. Aged in American oak, it offers a touch of violet on the nose and a lingering depth of flavor on the finish.

  This 100% varietal wine was aged 18 months in American oak and is vaguely pharmaceutical in aromas. Its elusive fruit stays wrapped in thick, unforgiving tannin.

  This is nice and soft, with ripe red-cherry and spice flavors. There's an herbal, earthy dustiness that's appealing. The fruit has a delicious sweetness that makes it ideal for pairing with charred meats.

  A dry, tannicly rich, interesting wine to drink with a nice steak. It's smoky in oak, with complex black cherry, cassis and spice flavors. Feels supple and good in the mouth, showing Dry Creek's natural affinity for Cab Franc.
