Apple, lemon, dried apricot, honey, hay and hints of oak. Great acidity and minerality.

Oct 12th, 2019Washington done right. A really attractive pale lemon color. Honeysuckle, lemon, and a very distinctive note of figs arrive on the nose. The French oak here is resplendent. As it develops in the glass aromas of orange blossom and pears heighten.
85% Semillon/15% Sauvignon Blanc from Columbia Valley. Unique among our shores, this is more commonly found as White Bordeaux. This is a really nice wine with everything in its proper place. The acidity and structure are well balanced and the mid palate is focused and austere. Pure citrus in the mouth accompanied by crushed herb and a tinge of spice. Medium long finish. So much fun.

Disappointing for the price. Not my type, but worked ok for nabe.

I really like this. A nice acidity that envelopes nectarine or peach and some honey sweetness.

The nose is a bit floral & subdued. The palate is a great mix of peach & ripe pear with some honeyed notes in the back end. Great acid with a bright, fresh finish.
