Dry Creek Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Denier-Handal Vineyards Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon from the renowned Dry Creek Valley is an exemplary expression of robust and elegant winemaking. This full-bodied red wine boasts a beautiful deep garnet hue. On the nose, it reveals an enticing bouquet of dark fruit aromas such as blackcurrant and blackberry, mingled with nuances of cedar, tobacco, and a hint of vanilla from oak aging. The palate is equally rewarding, offering layers of rich, ripe black fruit flavors, complemented by notes of dark chocolate and espresso. The wine's structure is impeccable, with firm yet polished tannins that provide excellent backbone and longevity, while bright acidity keeps it lively and balanced. This Cabernet Sauvignon is a true testament to the terroir of Dry Creek Valley, showcasing both power and finesse, making it an ideal partner for hearty dishes like grilled steak or a gourmet cheeseboard. Enjoy this splendid wine now or cellar it for increased complexity over the coming years.

Dry Creek Valley

Dry Creek Valley AVA is located around 70 miles north of San Francisco, in the heart of Sonoma County. This small region may only be two miles wide, but it's a treasure trove of diversity thanks to its varied landscape and complex geological history. Flanked by rivers and lakes, the region's vineyards stretch from sun-soaked hillsides to cool valley floors. Its deep, gravelly soils are the perfect home for California's favorite red grape varieties, particularly Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, while Sauvignon Blanc thrives in cooler sites.
