The news here isn’t that the Dry Creek Chenin Blanc is a steal at the price. The news would be if it wasn’t. For as long as I’ve been writing this column, Dry Creek Vineyard’s Chenin Blanc from the Clarksburg area north of Napa and Sonoma has been a winner. This one’s another home run, showing exquisite balance and beautiful ripe fruit. This vintage exhibits notes of pineapple and pear, with more subtle notes of green fruits in the background.
