Semillon the grape doesn’t get much love from U.S. producers except as a blending agent. Those who choose to showcase this exceptional white grape of Bordeaux typically have good results. V. Sattui’s is among the finest. The 2018 vintage from Carsi Vineyard delivers aromas of fig and stone fruits, with impressive body and weight on the palate. A Platinum Award winner at the 2019 Critics Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
