Winemaker Review: "2013 The Dreaming Tree Crush is a blend of the California's finest varieties, this wine has some great raspberry jam and vanilla oak characters on the nose, it has juicy mixed berry flavors, and full-but-soft and approachable tannins. A wonderful wine, enhanced by such foods as barbecue ribs, Vietnamese-style pork sandwiches, or vegetarian stuffed poblano peppers." 

My Review: I wanted to try a wine from The Dreaming Tree because Dave Matthews is a contributor to this winery. This wine tasted dry, vegetal and somewhat dirt-like. It was full-bodied and a little bitter. I wasn't a huge fan the first time I tried it, but I would be willing to try it again.

I tasted this on its own, with no food.
