      Reviews:

      • Wine Enthusiast: From vines averaging 100 years in age, this hearty wine brings blackberry jam, vanilla and black cherry to the fore. Thick tannins support a full-bodied palate, highlighted in black pepper and baking spice.
      • James Suckling: This has seriously fresh and deep aromas of ripe red plums that build into a palate that is packed with rich flavors of dark berries, plums and chocolate. Great depth here. 76% zinfandel, 22% petite sirah and 2% carignan.

      Producer Information

      Dry Creek Vineyard is a leading producer in Dry Creek Valley in Sonoma County, California. It has gained particular renown for its selection of wines from the Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel grape varieties. Dry Creek Vineyard was founded in 1972 by David Stare, with the purchase and replanting of a prune orchard opposite the Dry Creek General Store. Stare was at the forefront of the formation of the Dry Creek Valley AVA in 1983, and was the first to plant Sauvignon Blanc in Dry Creek Valley – and the first in Sonoma County to release a Fumé Blanc. There are five wines in the current portfolio made from Sauvignon Blanc, including Soleil ("sun" in French), a late-harvest, botritized dessert wine crafted in the style of a Sauternes. Dry Creek is also considered a leading specialist of Zinfandel, and there are a range of wines made from this variety, including the core Old Vines and Heritage Vines cuvées, and a range of single-vineyard wines. There is also a well-regarded, Loire-style Chenin Blanc from the Clarksburg AVA, and the DCV Estate Block 10 Chardonnay, of which around 1250 cases are made annually. Despite making a name for its Zinfandel, Dry Creek Vineyard was reportedly the first estate to use the term Meritage on the label of a 1985 vintage red wine, released in 1987. The current group of Bordeaux-style reds is headed by The Mariner, a blend based on Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot along with Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc, sourced from the best hillside sites in the Dry Creek Valley. There are 185 acres (75 hectares) of estate vineyards, which provide around 65 percent of the overall production. The remainder comes from other Dry Creek Valley vineyards managed by long-term contract growers. Dry Creek Vineyard has a strong assocation with sailing, and is a regular sponsor of races, regattas and awards.
