Dry and a little sharp, with blackberry, currant, mocha, tea and herb flavors. The tannic astringency really needs rich grilled meats to balance it.

This is a pretty, lightweight Pinot made for early consumption. Floral notes interweave with scents of white button mushrooms and ripe cherries, while silky tannins caress the palate. Undeniably appealing for its lithe feel and elegant structure.

Fruity, with pie-filling flavors of blackberries and cherries. Soft, too, with gentle tannins. It’s a wine to drink now.

An awkward Chard that tastes unnaturally oaky, with medicinal flavors of toasted, sweet vanilla bean. You’ll find hints of pineapples and papayas, but that oaky thing is really strong.

Lush and full-bodied, if not especially complex, this is a wine to drink now. It shows easy flavors of blackberries, currants, sage, pepper, mint and cedar, wrapped into sturdy tannins.

Made in the popular style, with vanilla oak, cream and sweet buttered popcorn notes dominating the pineapples, apricots and peaches. Production was 8,093 cases.

A little extra time in the bottle has yielded a softly attractive Cabernet filled with lush flavors. It has complex tiers of raspberries, cherries and tobacco, with gentle tannins and a light, spicy touch of sandalwood. Pretty and polished now.

Great Zinfandel, showing Dry Creek Valley at its best. The wine is dry and super-spicy, with complex, succulent wild berry, currant, licorice, bacon and pepper flavors, and just a touch of superripe raisins on the finish. Really notable for the quality of its fine tannins.
