Now fully mature, this lovely, inexpensive (upon release) Dry Creek Cab shows red fruits, resolved tannins, just a tad of Brett which seems to add complexity, and a satisfying, medium-long finish.

Some brett initially, redfruits and lovely ripe fruit, solid balance, medium-long finish, last vintage before Dave started separating the Aca Modot fruit out separately, quite youthful still.

Last vintage of the Estate Cabernet after which the fruit has been going into the Aca Modot— nice color, still youthful, shows brett on nose and on palate, though not over the top (for my palate), red-fruited with plenty of acid, medium-long finish, quite good.

Dark fruit aromas and flavors, still some solid structure and grip, medium-long finish, terrific for the original $8 tariff I paid on futures, a bit more of a drying finish than the 1995.
