Dutcher Crossing Winery and Tasting Room
Entrance to Dutcher Crossing Winery and Tasting Room
As always, we’re wine enthusiasts but hardly wine experts. For what they’re worth, however, here are our tasting notes:
2008 Sauvignon Blanc – finished very cleanly, fruity
2007 Stuhmuller Chardonnay – fruity, not as clean a finish as the Sauvignon Blanc
2007 Maple Vineyard Zinfandel – very clean, with a dry finish, but – a favorite of ours at Armida, this one didn’t live up to theirs…

2006 Taylor Reserve Cabernet – dry, smoky, bolder with a clean finish – nice!
2006 Proprietors Reserve Syrah – typical Syrah bite, smoky (ok, so we’re not huge Syrah fans…)
Overall, the service was friendly and welcoming and we enjoyed the wine!
