The 2020 Dissonance is gorgeous in the way it marries textural richness and energy. A dollop of Sémillon added to the Sauvignon Blanc works so well in adding mid-palate creaminess, orchard fruit, spice and jasmine. The 2020 is beautifully done, and a real delight to taste today. $20.00 (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, January 2022)

Apple, lemon candy, butterscotch, blood orange, hay and dried apricot. Bright acidity and good minerality.

Wow!! This bright and balanced without the over the top acidic overtones or finish. Much more Bordeaux in style than a grassy Cali SauvBlanc. Right down the middle flavor swaying side to side but never going over the top. Dish soap on the nose at first and only first sniff once immediately lured but that dissipates very quick to almost nonexistent. SauvBlanc and small amounts of semillion

90% Hudson Sauvignon Blanc 10% Bavarian Lion Semillon. Lush and creamy with a dry tartness that leads to a long, focused finish.

Light, crisp. Some acidity that is nicely softened by the Sémillon (10%).
