Dry Creek Vineyard 1998 Reserve Fumé Blanc (Dry Creek Valley)

Country: US / Reserve
Variety: Fumé Blanc California
Winery: Dry Creek Vineyard / Dry Creek Valley

If you like oaky, creamy Sauvignon Blanc built along Chardonnay lines, this one’s for you. Lemon-and-lime flavors, really bright and pure, stand out sweetly (it’s actually dry). But barrel fermentation and lees aging add an extra layer of buttery richness. It’s not an ager, but it sure is delicious now.
