Wine: Dry Creek Vineyard Fume Blanc 2008
Price: $10-ish
Tasting notes: Classic sauvignon blanc – bright, citrusy notes with hints of tangerine and a faint grassiness. A winner year in and year out.
Story: This wine is one of the classics of the Dry Creek valley, and the Fume Blanc is arguably DCV’s claim to fame. I could drink this wine every day and not get tired of it. Beware of how easy this one drinks: Big Bear and I overindulged on this a few years ago while having a picnic on DCV’s lawn. See the results below.
