Dry Creek Vineyards

TRL/Staff/Wine = 9/7/6

The wines here aren’t bad, but not notable, either.

2006 Dry Chenin Blanc: $12/-/$12
Crisp, clean, palate cleanser.
As good as most Sauvignon Blancs

2005 Estate Fume Blanc: $25/-/-
No noes. Very dry, lemony palate. Little green pepper on the nose.

2005 Taylor’s Vineyard Musque’: $25/-/-
Sauvignon Blanc

2003 Bullock House Merlot: 25/-/22
Light-bodied for a merlot. Bordeaux-style, but modest flavor. Would benefit from decanting.

2004 The Mariner (Meritage): $40/-/$30
Big tannins subdue the fruit. Velvety finish. Was decanted when tasted.
