2003 Dyer CabernetHad the 2003 Dyer Cabernet yesterday at Cellar 17 in Houston and really enjoyed it.

80% Cabernet, 20% Cab Franc, Only 380 cases made.

On the nose hints of ripe dark fruit, white pepper, cocoa, and violets. On the palate dark cherries, bell pepper, with a hint of chocolate and vanilla. Nice soft tannins, and long finish.

The overall impression I had, since I’ve had this twice in as many days, is that the more you get to ‘know’ a wine the more you enjoy the stuff you like and forget about the stuff you don’t. Or maybe I’m just saying, “I like wine alot…”. Anyway, I got a real dark fruit with slight vanilla on the nose and the mid palate had some licorice and smooth to the end. Very nice both times I had it. I think it can age several years and continue to beautify… Drink it and also keep some back for the next year or two.
