The Derivative Sonoma County Sémillon Blend
Sonoma County, California, USA

Slightly grassy hints on the nose with melon, rounded oily lemony fruit, green apple. Lush and rounded on the palate. Lacks a touch of structure and acidity

Nov 3rd, 2025Surprisingly youthful. Fantastic aromas of beeswax, lanolin and lemon. Shows richness from Semillon and crisp acidity from the supporting cast. You know, just your classic semillon, muscadelle and palomino blend. Delicious at 8 years. Should hold for a couple more but too yummy now to risk it

Bottle age has put this in its prime. Lush and opulent.

Aug 26th, 2017Who says red wine winemakers can't make white! Oily and rich but fresh- blind I might have guessed deiss pinot blanc. Cool wine from old semillon, muscadelle and palomino.

Semillon, muscadelle, colombard and palomino from old vines. Distinctive and full of interest and character, even when consumed from plastic cups while laying in the grass.
