Dry Chenin Blanc

2008 Clarksburg Chenin Blanc

The Dry Creek Vineyard Dry Chenin Blanc from the 2008 vintage is a delightful expression of the Chenin Blanc varietal, hailing from the picturesque Clarksburg region. This white wine showcases a vibrant, pale straw color that hints at its refreshing character. On the palate, it delivers a medium body with bright and lively acidity that dances gracefully, accentuating the wine’s zesty profile. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring enticing notes of green apple, pear, and a touch of citrus zest, making it incredibly food-friendly. Its delightful dryness pairs wonderfully with a range of dishes, from light salads to seafood, ensuring an enjoyable experience. With a smooth finish, this wine is a testament to the craftsmanship of Dry Creek Vineyard and the unique terroir of Clarksburg.

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
