2013 dry creek vineyard sauvignon blanc Credit: dry creek vineyard

I’ve been a fan of Dry Creek Vineyard wines since David Stare founded the Sonoma winery in 1972. His flagship white has always been the lovely fumé blanc, the synonym for sauvignon blanc, which is why I was surprised recently when I saw a label bearing 2013 Dry Creek Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc. I asked Dry Creek’s winemaker about it. Indeed, they make both! Its fumé blanc is produced from grapes grown in several areas of Sonoma County, while the newly released sauvignon blanc is only from vineyards in the Dry Creek Valley region. The latter offers crispness, the flavor of round, succulent pears and a lush mouth feel.
