Dry Creek Vineyard has always excelled with Sauvignon Blanc. And the 2020 is no exception. A trio of Sauvignon species, Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Musqué, and Sauvignon Gris, comprise the blend of this winsome wine. Dry Creek names it Fume Blanc to remind the consumer it’s a Loire style of Sauvignon Blanc — zippy and mineraly — in contrast to those coming from Bordeaux. Suave texture offsets and balances its attractive buzz.
