Dry Creek Valley

Quality

A 0–100 expert rating: 80–84 good, 85–89 very good, 90–94 excellent, 95–100 classic. Higher means a more highly regarded wine.

81/100Good

Vegetal and a little unclean, with deficient acidity that makes the fruit tastes insipid and sweet. Meanwhile, high alcohol makes it all hot.
