From our very first vintage in 1972, Chardonnay has contributed enormously to our success and has helped put Dry Creek Vineyard on the world wine map.  The crisp and balanced nature of our Chardonnay has always been immediately appealing.  However, given our desire to produce a more distinctive wine, in 2003, we transitioned our production to the Russian River Valley and away from the former Sonoma County designation. 

Our Foggy Oaks Chardonnay, released in the Fall of 2010, is our purest expression of Russian River Valley Chardonnay to date.  The grapes for this beautiful wine come from our estate vineyard, which is shrouded in fog and mist for most of the summer.   The cool climate orientation of the land along with the careful cultivation of the vineyard offers grapes that are full flavored yet maintain a wonderful balance and acidity. 

Foggy Oaks Chardonnay is a family dreamed realized and has been more than a decade in the making.  If you haven’t had the opportunity to taste this wine or share it with your accounts, please ask for a sample bottle.  It is truly an incredible wine and one we are extremely proud of.
