Brilliant, medium golden straw color. The aromatics are very intense offering scents of white peach and passion fruit with supporting notes of spring flowers, citrus zest, and candied ginger. The palate confirms the nose delivering a ripe orchard fruits-driven core with flavors of tropical fruits, lemon grass, and jasmine. The finish is long and lingering with bright citrus notes. Medium to full-bodied and perfectly balanced with a vibrant yet luscious texture. Made with a blend of Semillon 52% and Sauvignon Blanc 48%. We love well-done Semillon forward wine. $35 – 4 Stars - 91 points
