2022 Dry Creek Vineyard Fumé Blanc Sonoma County

Winemaker Notes:  Since 1972, we have produced Fumé Blanc — a wine at the heart and soul of our family winery. Modeled after the classic wines from the Loire Valley in France, our stainless steel fermented Fumé Blanc is crisp, balanced and immediately drinkable. Our Fumé Blanc emanates the classic Dry Creek Vineyard “house” style of Sauvignon Blanc. Aromatics of lemon, lime and grapefruit leap forward from the glass with both fruit and floral nuances of nectarine, peach, jasmine and orange blossom. On the palate, the wine is intense and bright with passionfruit, tangerine and cucumber. Underlying minerality and hints of lemongrass, parsley and mango contribute to this wine’s refreshing, crisp finish.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Wilfred Wong - "The 2022 Dry Creek Vineyard Fume Blanc is on point in its varietal category. This wine excels with aromas and flavors of dried herbs, light savory spices, and mineral notes. Serve it with linguine and clams in a savory, white wine reduction sauce. "


Wine Spectator - "Intense and mouthwatering, with notes of fresh-cut lemongrass, ginger and lemon basil complementing the Meyer lemon, yuzu, Honeycrisp apple and lime flavors. Impressive for its focus and intensity through the finish. "


Wine Enthusiast - "Walking a good line between fruitiness and herbaceousness, this widely available and affordable wine blends honeydew melons with parsley and celery flavors on a nicely tangy texture and a medium body. "
