Dry Creek Vineyard
Clarksburg Dry Chenin Blanc
Clarksburg, Central Valley, California, USA
Grapefruit nose like a Sauvignon Blanc, but sweet Chenin on the palate. Confusing: nose not equal palate. Simple, mostly dry, slight lemony acidic finish.

Not as dry as the name might suggest, this wine actually has .6% residual sugar. It is the perfect accompaniment to spicy Indian food.

Lots of tropical fruit, pineapple, lemon zest, etc... Slight river rocks or flinty note, overall pretty damn good for 11 dollars 2013 vintage

Feb 5th, 2015For some, Chenin Blanc is a move-along-nothing-to-see-here wine. For others, it's a go-to in more situations than not. Dry Creek Vyd.'s Chenin is very consistent, balancing gentle fruit, acid, texture. Went surprisingly well with a spicy roasted tomato soup and grilled smoked - mozzarella.
