Castello di Amorosa
Il Passito Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend
North Coast, California, USA
To steal a line from Lyle Fass: Just wow.
70% Semillon / 30% Sauvignon Blanc
Late botrytis harvest.
The nose on this thing is deep and intense, though I have to say that the finest aromas dissipate quickly so don't let this one sit in the glass or the bottle after opening.
Layers of dessicated fruits, candied citrus peel and spices...so much spice.
And that texture! Imagine the finest silk sheets in the world in your mouth and you'll get close. What a treat.
