Mill Creek 2005 Corner Pocket Vineyard Syrah (Dry Creek Valley)
- $32
To judge by the blast of white pepper and strong tannins, the Northern Rhône is the model for this dry, single-vineyard wine. It is a distinguished Syrah, but too tannic and closed down now for thorough enjoyment. Best to cellar for 3 or 4 years, maybe longer, until it throws some sediment.

Mill Creek 2001 Zinfandel (Russian River Valley)
- $22
Marked by deep, rich licorice and black cherry flavors, the wine also serves up an array of lovely plum, raspberry, coffee, cola and spice flavors. Tannins are smooth yet firm, and the finish is moderate in length.

Mill Creek 2004 Estate Syrah (Dry Creek Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $27
A little heavy and soft, but with a nice grilled steak, it has enough waves of complexity to stand out. The ripe blackberry, root beer, mocha and sweet oak flavors are wrapped into rich, dusty tannins, and the finish is smooth and long. Drink now.

Mill Creek 2005 Estate Chardonnay (Dry Creek Valley)
- $16
Nice peach and apple pie flavors, along with fresher honeydew define this friendly, soft, somewhat earthy wine. A bit of lees and oak and complexity.

Mill Creek 2005 Estate Gewürztraminer (Dry Creek Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $14
Just what the doctor ordered for warm nights and fusion fare. Dry, crisp and wonderfully flavorful, with oodles of tropical fruit, wildflower and, most of all, oriental herbs and spice flavors like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and lemongrass. Just a really nice California Gewurz.

Mill Creek 2007 Estate Gewürztraminer (Dry Creek Valley)
- $17
It’s hard to call this dry, because, with 0.7% residual sugar, it tastes off-dry. But it’s a pleasant wine. It has high acidity that provides needed balance to the honeysuckle, citrus, green apple and vanilla spice flavors. Versatile with a wide range of ethnic fare.

Mill Creek 2005 Estate Sauvignon Blanc (Dry Creek Valley)
- $16
The main characteristics in this food-friendly wine are citrus, melon and fig, while partial barrel fermentation adds a creamy richness. Fresh, citrusy acidity makes it all clean and vibrant.

Mill Creek 2002 Kreck Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma County)
- $25
Ripe and juicy, with intense blackberry jam and mocha flavors, this smoothly textured wine has rich tannins, perhaps from a majority of Dry Creek Valley grapes. With some sweetness on the finish, it’s ready to drink now.
