In the universe of red meritage wines from California, price is not always the measure of quality. Dry Creek Vineyard, which I consider one of the finest wineries in Sonoma County, is living proof. The DCV red meritage is a beautiful wine with sweet black fruits, firm structure and pure pleasure on the palate. If someone told you it was $60 a bottle, you would hardly blink. It’s that good. But at $30, it’s even better. Enough said.
