2006 Chenin Blanc

The French swoon over me. Crisp and dry with lingering aromas of citrus blossoms.


Aromas of honeysuckle and citrus blossoms, with mouth watering guava flavor that lingers on the palate. Wonderful balance of refreshing acidity and clean aftertaste.


Try this wine chilled, with fresh fish and seafood dishes, especially crab. Also enjoy this off-dry style wine with spicy Asian and Indian cuisine. Or enjoy by the glass with mild white cheeses and fruit salads.


The Clarksburg appellation is known for producing top quality Chenin Blanc, mainly due to its ideal climate. As the Sacramento Valley heats up during the day, it pulls in the cool maritime breeze from the bay, which allows warm summer days and cool evenings. We take special care in all aspects of our grape growing from deficit irrigation, to precise pruning techniques, to handpicking at harvest.


Grapes were hand picked in the morning and gently pressed. Juice was cold settled and fermented cold in temperature-controlled stainless. After a long cold fermentation, the wine was settled and filtered. Then it was cold and heat stabilized before bottling.
