2009 Sauvignon Blanc
Sauvignon Blanc and Dry Creek Vineyard are synonymous. Since 1972, we have produced a distinctive and refreshing style of Sauvignon Blanc focusing on the Loire Valley in France as inspiration. Now in its second vintage, this new Sauvignon Blanc pays homage to those founding principles. Crafted from several Dry Creek Valley vineyards, this wine blends in Sauvignon Musque, a unique selection of the variety. Crisp, lively, and immediately appealing, this appellation-driven wine shows another side to the incredibly versatile Sauvignon Blanc variety.

100% Sauvignon Blanc (4% Sauvignon Musqué)
At first swirl, a bright beam of golden color dances in the sunlight, almost inviting one in for those first aromatic essences. Pungent aromas come forward such as grapefruit, citrus, and honeydew melon. A few more swirls of the glass reveal a wonderful depth and concentration in the wine. On the palate, tropical fruit characters abound, such has white peach and pineapple. Honeysuckle elements from the Sauvignon Musqué linger, creating a rich mouthfeel without any cluttering oak characters. A long and lingering finish culminates the progression of this dynamic and beautiful Sauvignon Blanc.
