Brilliant silver-straw. Lime zest, honeysuckle, succulent herbs and chalky minerals on the incisive nose. Dry, tightly focused and lithe on the palate, offering intense citrus and orchard fruit flavors that reveal a hint of waxiness and a refreshingly bitter quinine note. Shows a delicate touch and finishes clean, nervy and quite long, with resonating mineral character and a hint of lemon thyme. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, July 2021)

Citrus, melon, a bit creamy on second sip. Grassy on the finish.

The winemaker from Cape Mentelle was touring through TX and stopped by Classic Wine Storage for a quick tasting.
This was served too cold at first. It was like biting in to an underripe Granny Smith Apple. Lots of tartness with a touch of sweetness. Grapefruit and melon showed up after it warmed in the glass. Finish rounded out too.

Cape Mentelles prestigious Semillon Sauvignon Blanc blend with the addition of barrel ferment like a White Bordeaux. Nose of orange fruit flesh along with grapefruit notes. Medium plus acid which will allow this to be cellared. The winery says up to 15 years.
