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 Cabernet – it’s actually an 80%/20% blend with Syrah and that 20% is really noticeable! Juicy, light, but the finish isn’t clean2006 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!
