I wanted a bottle of wine for a summer meal of grilled hanger and salad. I love wines from Dry Creek and noticed this was from there. I am lucky enough to be there a couple times a year and have some favorites from a region where you'll see bumper sticker that say "NAPA makes auto parts, Sonoma makes wine". On seeing the grape mix, and being a sucker for Mourvèdre, Grenache, and Syrah, I bought this. Wow, I'm glad I did. I opened the bottle to add to my steak marinade two hours before I tasted it. Then, it was "Hmmm.... Interesting". At that point I noticed the grapes were sourced from Unti - a vineyard and wine maker who I have a personal love affair with. "Ah, more interesting", I said to myself. Four hours after opening, this wine is really really good. It reminds me of summer on the Mediterranean with a fantastic table wine. I'm not an oenophile, but I know what I like. It's priced right and great with food. Next time I'm in Sonoma, I'd like to meet the winemaker. — 9 years ago
