The Dry Creek Vineyard 2023 Chenin Blanc Clarksburg was ranked #24 in Wine Spectator's Top 100 and represents exceptional value for the quality. Dry Creek Vineyard has been producing this Chenin Blanc since the winery's founding in 1972. The Clarksburg region, located in the Sacramento Delta, provides ideal conditions for Chenin Blanc with warm days and cool nights. The variety is not widely planted in California, making Dry Creek's bottling somewhat unique. The wine is fermented in stainless steel to preserve freshness and fruit character. Dry Creek's Chenin Blanc typically shows aromas of green apple, pear, honeysuckle, and subtle spice. The palate is crisp and refreshing with bright acidity and excellent length. This wine is incredibly versatile with food, pairing well with everything from seafood to Asian cuisine. It demonstrates that great wine doesn't have to be expensive or come from prestigious grapes or regions. The wine can be enjoyed upon release or cellared for 2-3 years. This is one of California's best white wine values.
