VC Cellars 2009 Petite Sirah (Dry Creek Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $28
Purists will find this wine a little too hot and sweet. But with its blackberry jam, dark chocolate and black pepper flavors, it sure is delicious. A great example why Petite Sirah has been such a red hot variety the past few years.  — S.H.  (2/1/2012)

VC Cellars 2006 Petite Sirah (Dry Creek Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $25
This is a Petite Sirah you want to decant to let the air soften it. After a while in the glass, sweet blackberry, plum, grilled meat, tobacco, pepper and cedar wood flavors emerge. There’s a funky edge that adds a wild, feral, mushroomy quality. An interesting wine to drink over the next three years for freshness.  — S.H.  (7/1/2011)

VC Cellars 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon (Dry Creek Valley)
  1. $35
A big, full-bodied Cabernet, dry and smooth in tannins, with blackberry, blueberry and oak flavors. There’s an earthiness that grounds this wine, making it less flamboyant than a Napa Cab, but food friendly and easy to drink.  — S.H.  (2/1/2012)

VC Cellars 2009 Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $28
Lots of Zinny character in this wine, with very ripe blackberry, raspberry and cherry fruit flavors that taste briary and spicy. It’s a robust wine that can’t quite overcome a certain rusticity, and doesn’t try to. A great Zinfandel to drink with barbecue, or a mid-winter oven roast.  — S.H.  (2/1/2012)

VC Cellars 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (Dry Creek Valley)
  1. $32
With briary tannins and juicy flavors of sweet, freshly picked wild berries and cherries, this Cabernet offers plenty of early pleasure. The spiciness defines Dry Creek Valley. Ready now, with a nice grilled steak.  — S.H.  (7/1/2011)

VC Cellars 2006 Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
  1. $25
For those who like their Zins on the sweet side, this one’s rich in raspberry and cherry jam flavor, with the sweet, honeyed taste of glycerine from high alcohol.  — S.H.  (9/1/2011)
