Dry Creek Vineyard
Wilson Ranch Dry Chenin Blanc
Clarksburg, Central Valley, California, USA
Straw yellow with aromas of tropical fruits and sweet floral scents. The palate shows peach flavors with citrus zest and some grassy earth notes, not as dry as the label indicates. Some alcohol burn with vivid acidity brings this wine to a medium length finish. Ok but not great.

Aromatic with lime, tropical fruits of mango, papaya & hints of pineapple on the palate, crisp acidity and mineralogy. Mouthwatering long finish & complexity. Very balanced. Perfect on a warm summer evening.

The wine has a nice bit of golden color, and a truly amazing nose. Aromas of minerals and citrus come with a fanfare from the glass. The scent of fresh limes is delightful. Green apple and peach notes have a bit of a struggle getting through that mineral-driven wall. The palate displays the tart apple and lime flavors best, with a freshness which rivals that of the nose.

Dry! Tropical fruits, moderate+ acid, slight floral palate blended with the grapefruit. Reminds of a kiwi sauv blanc without the gripping acid.

Bone dry. Very floral on the nose. Classic hints of honey and citrus.

Really great with or without food. Last@glass@still tasted nice after 2 weeks in the fridge.

Delicious. Less sweet than in years past bringing a nicer balance to this wine. very enjoyable for warm weather with lost of nice fruit in the nose and pallet. Good price at around ~$12. Unique and interesting indeed for California, a nice diversion from Chard, Sauv, Gris, and Rhones- bravo Sacramento Delta!
