Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

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.

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!

Very crisp light fruit flavors - delicious. Drank in late Sept 2016 paired with Peruvian food and it was a good white to transition into fall. Would definitely buy again!

There really isn't anything much better than dry Chenin Blanc. From Sonoma County, no less. Nice effort (as usual) from @drycreekvnyd
