Tasting note
Dry Creek Valley Cabernet Sauvignon should show cassis, blackberry and a touch of bay leaf, with ripe fruit at the center of the aroma. The 2023 Radici Della Famiglia Diciassette is expected to feel full yet composed, firm tannins shaping the wine and bright acidity lending the fruit a lively line. Peak maturity spans 2028 to 2033 within a window ending in 2039; a gently herbal, dark-fruited impression should linger.
