Tasting Notes

Brilliant pale yellow hues present this white blend. Aromas offer notes of pink grapefruit, lemon grass, and kiwi with an undercurrent of seductive toasted French oak. Flavors of citrus including lemon and key lime, and dried peaches are focused and encouraged with creamy, toasted oak. This is a terrific white wine with great texture. Enjoy!

Technical Note

Winemaking

The 2022 growing season began as usual with budbreak in mid-March through early April, followed by abundant shoot growth in May. Early summer brought nice warm days and cool nights with veraison occurring in mid to late July. Temperatures remained relatively even through the start of harvest and into August, while early September brought a heat wave that caused us to accelerate the final stages of the sémillon and sauvignon blanc picks to catch the optimum ripeness. The vintage created bright, fresh white wines with vibrant varietal flavors and textures.

Accolades

93 Points, Wine Enthusiast – “A blend of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc as is common in Bordeaux, this medium-bodied and mouthcoating wine is serious and substantive. Citrus, toast, pear and a touch of honey blend nicely on the palate, where a rich texture carries them through a lingering finish.” J.G., Best of Year 2023

92 Points, Wine Spectator – “A succulent, expressive and elegant white, with notes of pear blossom, marzipan and makrut lime leaf that lead to a core of tangerine, mango and ruby grapefruit notes. A hint of marmalade lingers on the long, juicy finish. Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Drink now.” -MaryAnn Worobiec, Nov. 2023
