2005 Fumé Blanc
2005 Vintage JUST RELEASED!
Previous Vintage 2004:
"Dry Creek’s basic Fumé is typically a reliable, moderately grassy look at Sauvignon Blanc, and so again is it in 2004. This time, the wine shows hints of minerals, fresh grass, pear and melons throughout its length, and it is balanced to crispness without becoming overly tart or tangy. It is never one for special depth or richness, but it will make versatile drinking with a wide range of seafoods." Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine

Our Fumé Blanc’s quintessential varietal character has made it a benchmark wine in California and a flagship at our winery for over 3 decades. This vintage displays a wonderful bouquet of zesty citrus, grapefruit and lemongrass. On the palate, the lemon-lime flavors and peppery spice notes echo the aromas, creating a sense of depth and balance. The crisp finish incorporates hints of gooseberry and a touch of minerality. A perfect wine for just about any occasion, this Fumé Blanc pairs well with fresh oysters, grilled chicken or fish, or even pasta in a light cream sauce.
