DCV3 was the first vineyard planted to Sauvignon Blanc in the Dry Creek Valley. Winery founder David Stare’s vision to start a winery modeled after those of the Loire Valley in France began with the planting of this vineyard in 1972. The result of this planting led to a renewed passion of the Sauvignon Blanc varietal in Sonoma County and to a viticultural rebirth in Dry Creek Valley.

Our DCV3 estate vineyard is perhaps our most prized and cherished property. Planted to Sauvignon Blanc by winery founder David Stare, this iconic vineyard represents the first planting of the varietal in the Dry Creek Valley. Each vintage, we hand select the best fruit from this vineyard for our Estate DCV3 bottling. In 2007, the aromas show intense spicy characters with vibrant citrus and grass elements shining through. On the palate, flavors of lemon peel, grapefruit and orange spice round out bright acidity creating a balanced and harmonious wine. This is truly a delicious wine from a very special place.
