Country: US / Crane Creek Cuvee
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend California
Winery: Lambert Bridge / Dry Creek Valley
A really wonderful wine. It seems classic Dry Creek Valley, in terms of bright, spicy fruit, as polished as marble on the surface, with maybe less stuffing than, say, Napa. But that’s not to put it down. Racy tannins and dry acids make it competitive in a worldwide market.
