Dry Creek Vineyard was founded by David S. Stare in 1972. Dave arrived in California with a dream to build a winery modeled after a chateau from the Loire Valley of France. As the first new winery in Dry Creek Valley following Prohibition, Dry Creek Vineyard paved the way for a whole new era of winemaking in Sonoma County.
Soft and smooth is the best way to describe this young but very delightful Merlot. The grapes came from a premium vineyard in Mendocino where the climate is perfect for producing ultra-premium Merlot.
