2017 Dry Creek Valley Cuvée
Dry Creek Valley
Thoroughly modern with a proud heritage, our Cuvée blends four varietals to create a singular wine. A preponderance of Grenache for aromatics, our winemaker brought in Syrah for spice and backbone, the Mourvèdre for depth and earthy complexity, and Zinfandel for a touch of bright fruit. Sip away and uncover notes of strawberry shortcake, cranberry, pepper, anise, and olives with a romantic whisper of falling leaves. 18 months aging in French oak in varying size barrels perfect this wine.
Bouillabaisse, cioppino, or stew are all tasty matches. This easygoing wine is perfect with grass-fed burgers (or your favorite plant-based option) and pasta drenched in red sauce. Another staff favorite? Toasted, spiced nuts. Trust us.
