Mounts 2007 Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon (Dry Creek Valley)
- $35
Shows a distinguished structure and mouthfeel proving that Dry Creek Cabs are really moving forward. Quite different from Napa in the briary, brambly, wild berry flavors, almost like Zinfandel, and the brisk tannins. This food-friendly wine will perform well on a restaurant wine list.

Mounts 2006 Cabernet Franc (Dry Creek Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
You might mistake this for a good Dry Creek Zinfandel, it’s so briary, brambly and peppery. The fruit is all about red cherries and rec currants, pure and refined, wrapped into dusty tannins. A nice, dry, full-bodied red wine.

Mounts 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (Dry Creek Valley)
- $32
Easy to like for its clean, dry purity, and the complicated flavors of black currants, blackberry jam, pepper and cedar. There’s a firmness of tannins and acidity that make the structure especially attractive. Drink now.

Mounts 2009 Old Vines Estate Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- $30
Very rich and fruity, with jammy raspberry and cherry flavors that taste almost dessert sweet, this also offers a delicious note of black currant sprinkled with hints of cinnamon and brown sugar. A great barbecue wine. The alcohol is a little high, but that’s customary of Dry Creek Zin.

Mounts 2007 Estate Grown Syrah (Dry Creek Valley)
- $28
If you think you don’t like Syrah, try this one. It’s so pretty, so easy to drink for its soft lushness, but is also quite complex. Offers gentle waves of raspberries, cherries, licorice, Canadian bacon and pepper that finish bone dry and spicy.

Mounts 2008 Estate Grown Petite Sirah (Dry Creek Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $32
Some Petite Sirahs need time to come around. Not this one. It’s ready to drink, even though the tannins are thick. Bone dry, with blackberry, currant, beef jerky and pepper flavors, it’s ideal with barbecue.
