Delille Cellars, Columbia Valley (Washington) “Chaleur Blanc” 2022 ($37)

Delille has created a masterful blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon that highlights the best of both of those varieties. The pleasantly piercing bite of Sauvignon nicely complements the lanolin-like texture and creaminess of Semillon. Racy acidity in the finish keeps it fresh. It would be a good choice for a roast chicken in a creamy tarragon sauce.
