Dry Creek Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Released!

Just a quick note to our customers and friends that we have released the first vintage of the Six Strings Dry Creek Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.  As some of you may know, the fruit for this wine comes from the Puma Springs vineyard in the highly-regarded Dry Creek Valley AVA in Sonoma.  This vineyard is special as it has been painstakingly managed using sustainable farming practices since 2001 and will certified Biodynamic for the 2009 harvest.

The 2006 vintage is still a young wine and although it is drinking nicely now, it will continue to develop over the next 3 to 5 years.  Its 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and was aged in 50% new French oak for 22 months prior to bottling, and was unfined and unfiltered.

We only made 70 cases of this inaugural vintage so if you enjoy handcrafted Sonoma Cabernet, be sure to check this one out.  It will not disappoint.  You can find all of the details on the Six Strings Winery website.
