Pessac-Léognan Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend

Initial aromas of passion fruit. 76% Sauvignon Blanc, 24% Semillon. Grassy and herbal notes. Quite delicate. A guava note on the palate. Only 35% new oak which is totally integrated. So refreshing and balanced. I have previous Delectable notes which were also praiseworthy.

Bright and lifted. Great acidity and poise. Sauvignon fruit and citrus with slate. Pretty and driving. Excellent

Always a treat. Could use a few more years for the oak to integrate

Colour is mid lemon to pale gold. The blend is 76% Sauvignon Blanc and 24% Semillon. Fermentation in barrel, no malolactic. The Savvy Blanc makes its presence felt with aromas of tropical fruits. Barb said Guava and she knows guava from when she was a child. On nose and palate. Also honeysuckle. Still very fresh - the oak has melded perfectly with the fruit. Acid is medium minus; the texture is unctuous. Have the last one in the next year or so.

Glorious melon and floral notes. Cool midpalate with minerality and good length. Lovely.

Vintage 2009 | paired with smoked salmon | true to type, minerals

Tasting group 7/24/22 @ Rosemary Cakebread's. My 4th, group 4th. Floral, VA, notable oak, Broad feel.

Mid yellow in colour. An interesting marine type note which became oxidative with time. Notes of citrus and white peach, a little broad. A creamy texture from part oak maturation. 76% Sauvignon Blanc 24% Semillon. Fermented in barrel on lees for 18 months. 35% new barrels.

Not as snappy as usual. Tad sweet? Broad, with lower acidity. Juicy, Melony fruit.

Super cool. Fit right at the end of the this sushi Omakase
