Delicious! I am an unabashed Semillon fan, but unfortunately don’t seem to get many. This has a beautiful nose of fresh ripe white orchard fruit, the waxy/lanolin thing, and crushed stone. Dry and long, it’s got everything in balance. Deep fruit, some clean underlying light minerality, and very nice acids

5 years later, this is an amazing white wine. Lemon creme, hazelnuts, great lemony acidity, and the color is holding well. Need some more!

Surprisingly energetic, and spring-like on the palate. Loads of lemon-limey characteristics, easy to consume when it’s 100 degrees out!
