2016 Dry Creek Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc Dry Creek Valley
Highly perfumed but with the heft of tropical fruits
Highly perfumed but with the heft of tropical fruits
Balanced: both ripe and cooling
Effusively tropical, herbaceous, citric, et cetera
Refreshing varietal Mencía from old vines, great for tapas
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.
It has arrived (it always does)
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
Concentrated, dense-packed, and meaty
