Dry Creek Vineyard, with more more than 50 years of history and tradition in Dry Creek Valley, is one of Northern California’s most consistent and excellent producers of Sauvignon Blanc. This is the unmasked version, and there is a slightly richer, very lightly packed version called FumêBlanc. Crisp pear, green apple, yellow apple, grapefruit, gooseberry, passion fruit… this wine is a summary of all the main characteristics of the grape. Refreshing acidity, beautiful balance and bargain priced - just terrific

Grapefruit, lemon, peach, tangerine, apple and lemongrass. Great acidity and minerality.

Fresh and floral, with crisp, tangy grapefruit aromas and flavors, and a fairly rich mouthfeel.

Apple, ripe grapefruit, pithy lemon, wet river rock and peach. Great structure with a bolt of electric acidity running throughout.

Pineapple nose; the wine is too acidic. I can't stop drooling and not in a good way. 😪

Crisp, dry wine. It has a nice acidic taste and is pretty fruity- it smells like pear and grapefruit.

From one of the pioneers of Sauvignon in California this is a real classic - bright herbal notes without the bitterness of the New Zealand style. Lots of passion fruit offsets the herbaceous quality, crisp and easy drinking but marred by high alcohol.
