Bordeaux blanc style by way of the Columbia Valley. Really compelling at the price point; the contrast between the crisp and tart green and yellow Sauvignon blanc fruit and flint against the roundness and richness of the Semillon maintain a lot of interest and should age well

A subdued but very Pessac-like nose has some toastiness, a teensy amount of grassiness, a little lanolin, fig, and a bit of steely minerality. Replace the steely minerals with some gravel and it would be a dead ringer. Very crisp and lean in the mouth. A little more ripeness and generosity would have helped, but this is still pretty good.

Toasty vanilla, creme brûlée, spice, tropical fruit, hedonistic and delicious but not cloying or flabby. Wonderful cold weather white for hearty fare

Nose has delicate yellow fruits, a waxy lanolin Semillon thing, and some toasty oak. Dark and low toned in the mouth — almost like a red— but very persistent and nicely balanced. Needs a delicate fish dish as a counterpoint to shine. (Not great with turkey.)
