La Proportion Dorée Sonoma County Sémillon Blend

Post-Tasting wine. Refreshing!

Fabulous , needed 30 minutes to open up. It really complimented the scallops and Scrimp course. Morlet wines continue to be the Best at everything he does . Wish I had more! I rate this a solid 95+

Rich, ripe and mature. Vanilla, spice, passionfruit and hints of orangepeel.
Holding up very well.

Needs about 30 minutes to blow off the funk

This is a wonderful wine from Luc Morlet. The wine opens with aromatic honey & melon on the palate with plenty of underlying structure. The 2010 is in full bloom. What a delight!

Huh?
Took me awhile to appreciate the nose...
There’s apricot, honey and a firm dosage of oak, of course.
But the odd yet interesting nuances of grilled carrots and parsnips, yellow curry-powder (‘kerrie’) and a yeasty kind of thing that reminds me of Belgian Triple Beer, took some time to grow on me.
On the palate this is more traditional, less surprising, yet very well composed. Rich, luscious, unctuous and dense. Maybe slightly lacking in varietal character, but that could be nitpicking-me

This was my favorite new white until I tasted Ferren.

Wow! That's a special white wine! Had this Morlet up at plumpjack in squaw last winter. Was and is awesome. Thinking of you Aaron and Melanie!
