One of Sonoma County's most distinctive appellations, Dry Creek Valley is a narrow valley hemmed by steep ridges that create a warm, dry microclimate ideal for Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon. The valley's benchland soils and diurnal temperature swings produce wines of exceptional concentration and balance.
