Dry Creek Vineyard, Dry Creek Vally (Sonoma County, California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

 This winery gets lots of kudos for white wines, especially its Sauvignon Blancs and its value-priced Chenin Blanc.  Being located in the heart of the Dry Creek Valley, it also garners praise for Zinfandel.  But year after year, its Cabernet Sauvignon delights just as much — if not more.  The 2015 is ripe but balanced, and evidences suave subtlety more than flashy exuberance.  At $22, it’s a superb value.
