The 2016 Dry Creek Valley Red Blend from Nimble Vineyards, affectionately dubbed ‘Nimble Hog,’ is a delightful expression of Sonoma’s rich terroir. Scoring a well-deserved 95 points, this blend showcases a harmonious interplay of ripe blackberries, plums, and a hint of spice, rounded out by subtle oak nuances that add depth without overpowering the fruit. On the palate, it’s velvety and approachable, with soft tannins that make it incredibly easy to enjoy. This wine is perfect for a cozy dinner with friends or a casual barbecue, pairing beautifully with grilled meats or hearty pasta dishes. With its remarkable quality at just $14.99, it’s a smart buy that delivers far beyond what you might expect at this price point.
