2004 Estate Fumé Blanc DCV3
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.

100% Sauvignon Blanc
Dry Creek Vineyard was the first winery to plant Sauvignon Blanc in the Dry Creek Valley. Known as DCV3 (Dry Creek Vineyard #3), thirty-three vintages of Sauvignon Blanc have come from this special vineyard. At first swirl, focused aromas of grass, Meyer lemon, grapefruit and jalapeños rise from the glass. On the palate, the wine displays a brilliant spicy character with plenty of palate cleansing citrus and herbaceous qualities. The finish is laser-like, with sharp, focused flavors. Precisely balanced, this Sauvignon Blanc will develop beautifully over the next 3 to 5 years.
