Dry Creek Chenin Blanc

History Our family winery is proud to have produced Dry Chenin Blanc each and every year of our 45-year history. For nearly 30 years our Chenin Blanc has come from the Clarksburg appellation in the Sacramento Delta. This vineyard has provided us with deli- cious fruit that expresses our Loire Valley-inspired roots. It is the perfect aperitif wine extremely versatile and food friendly making it one of our most beloved wines. Growing Season The 2016 harvest began with a relatively even growing season after welcome winter rains helped to alleviate the drought condi- tions. The entire ripening season enjoyed cooler than average daytime highs and cold nights - perfect for developing complex aromas and flavors. Harvest arrived earlier than usual with a slightly smaller yield of exceptional quality fruit. September brought morning cloud cover and beautiful days with tempera- tures cruising along in the mid-80s which led to delicious ripe flavors with lower sugars and higher acidity. W
