Dry Creek Chenin Blanc '22

This rare California Chenin Blanc demonstrates why Dry Creek Vineyard remains committed to this Loire Valley variety. The 2023 vintage offers vibrant aromas of green apple, honeysuckle and wet stone that lead to a crisp, dry palate of citrus, pear and subtle mineral notes. With a 90-point score reflecting its perfect balance between aromatic intensity and refreshing acidity, the wine finishes clean with a pleasant bitter almond note. Whole cluster pressed and fermented cool in stainless steel, it maintains wonderful purity of fruit. Pair with seafood salads, goat cheese, or simply as an aperitif - a white that overdelivers for its price point.
