The 2022 Flanagan Dry Creek Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine of outstanding Dry Creek Valley distinction, exceptional single-estate character, and the kind of powerfully structured, richly flavored Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon that the Dry Creek Valley — one of Sonoma's most celebrated and terroir-distinctive growing areas, nestled between the warm ridgeline benchlands and the cool valley floor of one of California's most beautiful and character-driven wine appellations — produces with a personality all its own that sets it apart from both its Napa Valley neighbors and the broader Sonoma County appellation. Flanagan's Dry Creek Estate is a vineyard of exceptional quality and consistent character, farmed with the meticulous attention to viticulture excellence that produces Cabernet Sauvignon of outstanding natural concentration, fine tannin structure, and the kind of warm, ripe, dark-fruited personality that the Dry Creek Valley's sunny, sheltered growing conditions reliably deliver year after year. The 2022 vintage gave the Flanagan Dry Creek Estate everything needed for a wine of real depth and satisfaction: aromas of ripe dark cherry, blackberry, cassis, cedar, graphite, warm baking spice, mocha, and a dusty mineral note of genuine Dry Creek Valley character lead to a full-bodied, concentrated, and beautifully structured palate with excellent natural acidity and a long, deeply satisfying finish.
