Dry Creek Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
Very enjoyable wine. The nose shows abundant blackberry and other dark fruits layered with cedar, toast and subtle spice. On the palate, dark cherries and more black fruits mingle with hints of smoke and cedar. The finish is long and elegant. I have two more bottles of the 2017 and plan to enjoy them this winter. — 3 months ago

I purchased this wine for $60 as a Bordeaux future offering from MacArthur’s in DC, with the hope of opening it when my younger son—born in 1982—was old enough to share it. We finally did just that this Thanksgiving, celebrating both him and the bottle.
The fill was mid-shoulder, but the family was together and it felt like the right moment. I gave it about an hour in the decanter before dinner. Early on it showed blackberries, a touch of veg, lead pencil, cedar notes and a smooth elegant finish. As the evening went on it opened a bit more, gaining some depth.
A few hours later I revisited the small amount I’d saved and found it had dried out some—but that was expected for a 43-year-old First Growth. Ultimately, it was a wonderful experience and a memorable way to share both the wine and the moment with family.
