White
Sauvignon Blanc
Origin: Bordeaux / Loire, France
The crisp, herbaceous white of the Loire and Bordeaux — bright and food-friendly, a Dry Creek specialty.
The Grape
Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, aromatic white of Bordeaux and the Loire. On the West Coast, Dry Creek Valley produces a distinctive, bright style, while Napa examples (often labeled 'Fumé Blanc') can be richer and lightly oaked. It retains vibrant acidity even in warm sites, making it a refreshing food wine.
Flavor & Aroma
Grapefruit, gooseberry, grass, and herbal notes; warmer sites show tropical passionfruit and melon.
