Shows the dry tannins and herbal quality that so often mark Dry Creek Cabs, but that also distinguish it as unique. You’ll find black currant and cherry flavors awash in sage, tobacco, black pepper and even Chinese five-spice notes. The tannins are firm, but smooth, suggesting moderate ageability.

Another successful release from Stromberg after the fine 2005 vintage, and it makes the case for Dry Creek Cabernet at its best. Hillside grapes have yielded concentrated flavors of blackberries, plums and spices, and the wine is finely balanced with dense tannins and acidity. Fifty percent new French oak barrel aging is easily absorbed by the wine’s inherent size. Elegant and complex, it’s a gorgeous wine to drink now.

Run, don’t walk, to find this 100% varietal Sauvignon Blanc—it’s a steal. Shows why Dry Creek Valley has had a reputation for this variety for so long. Dry and crisp and unoaked, yet richly honeyed, it offers waves of mouth-flattering citrus, tropical fruit, green apple, white peach and pear flavors. Production was only 336 cases.
