Ruskin Ridge 2018 Chenin Blanc Clarksburg, California

2018 Clarksburg Chenin Blanc

Ruskin Ridge's 2018 Chenin Blanc hails from the sunny Clarksburg region of California, offering a refreshing white wine experience. With a medium body that balances delicately with a lively acidity, this Chenin Blanc showcases a prominent fruit intensity that sings on the palate. The dryness of this wine complements its fruit-forward profile, making it a delightful choice for those seeking a well-rounded white wine.

Tasting notes:

This light and airy Chenin is a perfect starter. It has medium acidity, a balanced profile, and a beautifully creamy mouthfeel. They taste of tropical fruit and citrus play well with or without food. We have thoroughly enjoyed it with fresh seafood: oysters, scallops, and clams.

Region:

California

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.
