One of a small handful of benchmark producers of the variety brings us another solid vintage — their 40th harvest, in fact. Some Semillon adds depth to the crisp Sauvignon Blanc fruit, mixing to provide aromas and flavors of melon, citrus, herbs and a touch of oak aging adds creamy texture and a hint of papaya. Add a crisp finish that brings you back to the rim and you know that your trust was well placed. Looking forward to 41!
