Medium straw in the glass. High pitched mineral resin and somewhat vague white fruit nose. Medium bodied with a somewhat creamy texture - i'm guessing this saw some oak. A little bit short, but pretty good. (3591 views) | | | Tasted by SonomaWilliam on 10/24/2009 & rated 93 points: One of my favorite Dry Creek SB's. Blended with viognier, marsanne, and rousanne, 3 of my fave rhone varietals, makes this something a bit different. Nice. Floral nose, hint of citrus. Lots of pleasant citrus, some minerality, in the mouth. Pleasing mid palette and a great finish that leaves the mouth watering, in a postive way. Great by itself or with food. (3864 views) | | | Tasted by OneLastSyrah on 9/5/2009 & rated 87 points: Opened yesterday. Pale golden color. Steely nose with a touch of cereal funk. Medium bodied sweetish attack of sweet tangy vaguely tropical lemon fruit. Bit short/lacking complexity, but pleasant. (3092 views) |
| Dutcher Crossing Producer WebsiteSauvignon Blanc Varietal CharacterUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Sonoma CountyMendocino CountyDry Creek Valley Winegrowers of Dry Creek Valley | Dry Creek Valley Association | Appellation America | San Francisco Chronicle Article |
