AppellationAmerica.com, Catherine Fallis, November 8, 2006- 2002 Dyer Vineyard

AppellationAmerica.com, Catherine Fallis, November 8, 2006- 2002 Dyer Vineyard "This Cabernet is polished and elegant, in a very understated style, with cassis, fresh mountain air, cherry, and tar notes. It is full and softly textured with fine grained tannins, subtle fruit, and a long, bright, lively finish. Decanting will allow the full character of the wine to show itself, as will a bit of time in the cellar." www.appelationamerica.com

For those of you who wonder how these ratings work, here's what we recieved to notify us of the AA.com review. “If your wines get to this stage in the appellation America review process, it’s for sure that they have individual personality. Our reviewers have been tasked to sample hundreds of wines, but only to write on the ones that they can personally and confidently recommend”-ed

2003 Dyer -Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley; Vinfolio rating: 92 points

VINFOLIO REVIEW, Doug Wilder, April 28,2006 2003 Dyer-Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley; Vinfolio rating: 92 points. Bill and Dawnine Dyer previewed this wine at Premiere Napa Valley last year, and I thought it was one of the best there. Now, one year later, the wine is released, and it shows beautifully. It is their first departure from the tiny estate vineyard they own on Diamond Mountain. The quality is every bit the equal of their most recently released estate bottling. Full bodied structure with nice focus, plump cherry, dusty tannins in the nose. Elegant and focused on the palate. Drink: 2006-2010.
