Dry Creek Vineyard Wilson Ranch Clarksburg Dry Chenin Blanc, 2020

Dry Creek Vineyard produces the most highly awarded Chenin Blanc in the nation. Over the past several vintages, this wine has earned more than 30 Gold Medals, plus scores of Silver and Bronze Medals. Indeed, a single recent vintage racked up a total of seven top awards–including Best Varietal of Region and Double Gold at the California State Fair, plus a Gold Medal at the International Wine Challenge in London, England.

Much of our success with Chenin Blanc is due to exceptional fruit quality from Clarksburg, a relatively unknown grape-producing region in California’s Sacramento Delta. Both Dry Chenin Blanc and Fume Blanc offer perfect antidotes to Chardonnay. Like the most charming Loire Valley wines, both are crisp and refreshing as well as extraordinarily versatile. Excellent as an aperitif, our Dry Chenin Blanc is internationally recognized as one of the best wines to pair with oysters on the half shell.
