2015 Dry Creek Vineyard Zinfandel Heritage Vines Sonoma County
Concentrated blend of old (and renewed) vines
Concentrated blend of old (and renewed) vines
Relaxed, friendly, and calming
Terrific value-priced California Cabernet
Fully dry but lush and tropical
Highly perfumed but with the heft of tropical fruits
Balanced: both ripe and cooling
Herbs and high-pitched cherries; a bright Syrah (not a dark one)
Snapshots from four decades of Napa Cabernet Sauvignon teach us something about taste, and tasting.
Polished but focused, a spectrum from light to dark
A study in contrasts: fruit vs. wood
Youthful and highly spiced, with high-toned purple fruits
Zesty and tropical but with heft, too
