dry creek wine with matt mccormick

Dry Chenin Blanc 08 minerality..crisp...sweetness that isnt over the top cloyingly so

fume blanc, sauv blanc 2008 redundant... light, not a lot of acidity... citrus, spice..

sauv blanc..dry creek valley as opposed to sonoma... 2008 stainless steel.. melony mouth, a little more viscous..

dry creek chard russian river,06. french oak, toasty on the end.. some ml but really good expression of fruit.

heritage zin 2007 sonoma with 12 % petite sirah, lighter in alcohol... bright fruit, good acidity.. red fruits.

cabernet sauvignon 2006 bordeaux varietals, juicy...nice texture..some cinammon.. medium finish.

the mariner dry creek valley 2005 2nd vintage... big brother to meritage wine, all five bordeaux varietals... nice blend of oak, dark fruit... a sign of what aging can do, when I tried this originally it was way to over oaky...
