Professional Ratings

  • 92

    The 2021 Chenin Blanc is bright and focused, with a compelling mix of varietal orchard fruit and brighter, more citrusy accents that add brightness. All the elements are so well balanced. The 2021 Chenin is a wine of total class and distinction.

Gros Ventre Cellars, California
Founded in 2008, Gros Ventre Cellars has been over 20 years in the making. After college, Chris spent several years tasting and selling mostly European wines in shops and restaurants as a sommelier, which shaped his palate and led him towards wine production. Starting in 2003, he began working at several high profile wineries including Williams-Selyem, Marcassin, and Skinner Vineyards, one of the Sierra Foothills' most notable estates. Through his work at both Skinner and Gros Ventre, Chris was named one of the San Francisco Chronicle’s Winemakers to Watch by Jon Bonné. In the winery, minimal handling is the focus, with native fermentation, no extended maceration, no lees stirring, and no fining or filtration. Gros Ventre’s production centers around Pinot Noir grown in cool, coastal sites. Additional vineyards in the foothills are distinguished for their considerable elevation to ensure freshness. All of the sites employed are farmed by hands-on growers focused on sustainability. About the name? Its meaning is two-fold: In Jackson Hole, Chris and Sarah met near the Gros Ventre River. Gros Ventre is also French for "big belly", which is most appropriate as Sarah was pregnant with their first child during the inaugural vintage! Pronounced "Grow Vant."

Unquestionably one of the most diverse grape varieties, Chenin Blanc can do it all. It shines in every style from bone dry to unctuously sweet, oaked or unoaked, still or sparkling and even as the base for fortified wines and spirits. Perhaps Chenin Blanc’s greatest asset is its ever-present acidity, maintained even under warm growing conditions. Somm Secret—Landing in South Africa in the mid 1800s, today the country has double the acreage of Chenin Blanc planted compared to France. There is also a new wave of dedicated producers committed to restoring old Chenin vines.

The vineyards just inland from the Sacramento River Delta, along the deep banks of the Sacramento River, comprise the Clarksburg AVA. The River Delta channels in cold air and fog from the Pacific Ocean creating a cooling effect in this area. Warm summer days quickly change to chilly evenings and make a great environment for grape growing. While a range of grape varieties grow here, Chenin blanc stands out the most, distinguishing itself in the appellation.

The Clarksburg Wine Growers and Vintners Association, made up of nearly 50 grower members and over a dozen wineries, has been working since the late 1980s to promote the high quality wine of its region.
