Wine Review: This pale straw colored "Fume Blanc" from Dry Creek opens with a fragrant yellow grapefruit, quince, and green pepper bouquet. On the palate, this wine is light plus bodied with medium acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced. The flavor profile is a tart grapefruit and lime blend with notes of notes of white peach pit. I also detected hints of passionfruit. The finish is dry, and its flavors linger nicely. I would pair this Sauvignon Blanc with toasted mushroom treats. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Our 50th Anniversary Edition Fumé Blanc emanates the classic Dry Creek Vineyard "house" style of Sauvignon Blanc. Aromatics of lime, lemon, white peach, and grapefruit leap forward from the glass with nuances of honeydew, lemongrass, and white tea. On the palate, the wine is intense and bright with tangerine, passionfruit and cucumber. Underlying minerality and hints of hibiscus, lemon verbena and jalapeño contribute to this wine’s refreshing, crisp finish.
