2003 Vinum Cellars "CNW Cuvee" Clarksburg Chenin Blanc

SKU #1011255

Loire Valley wine fans have long known the heights that chenin blanc can soar. It's a grape producing hauntingly flavored dry and sweet wines that bring to mind apples ripening in the summer sun, honeysuckle and cool melon balanced by a naturally high acid content. Whoa! Vinum's chenin comes from Clarksburg, just west of Sacramento, where one finds a microclimate kept cool by breezes from both the Bay and the Sierras. Who would have though it? The perfect home for chenin! This is old-vine fruit, intense as it is delightful. Try chenin again, for the very first time.

Additional Information:

Varietal:

Chenin Blanc

- One of the most versatile white grape varieties, Chenin Blanc is known for producing some of the best, longest living sweet wines, not at all similar to the general table wines that often come from California's Central Valley (though California has a few producers attempting to emulate the high quality sweet Chenin Blancs produced in the Loire Valley). Originating in the Loire Valley, Chenin Blanc has the most plantings in South Africa, where it is used as a base for everyday commercial wines. Here is a list of our bestselling Chenin Blanc.
Country:

United States

- When people consider domestic wine, they normally think about the state of California. The fine viticultural Region within California, including the Napa Valley, Sonoma, Santa Cruz Mountains, Mendocino and Santa Barbara, are capable of growing grapes of world-class quality. But there's plenty of fabulous wine coming from other states, too. Oregon, Washington and New York are also causing eyebrows (and glassware) to be raised around the world.

Sub-Region:

California

- With the explosive growth that California's wine industry has seen the past several years, it's easy to view winemaking and grape growing in the Golden State as a recent phenomenon. And while it's true that California's viticultural history is brief compared to several European countries, this state's roots date back well over 200 years. Due to the enormous response to California wine within the United States and worldwide, there are thousands of excellent and diverse wines being produced within the state each year.
