2019 Columbia Valley Semillon

Pale- to medium-yellow. The nose is tightly wound but loosens up in phases that reveal excellent complexity. Peach, pineapple and lanolin are haloed with honeysuckle blossom, sandalwood and a kiss of petrol. With air, starfruit and lemon oil emerge. Warm and viscous on entry, but your palate is swept clean by a knife blade of chalky, apple skin minerality revealing pretty peach and starfruit in a surprisingly long finish. There are gobs of stuffing to this wine and it should age nicely for another 5-8 years.

Check-in tasting 7.6.2021 - Flat-out gorgeous...wide-open bouquet with excellent viscosity on entry perfectly balanced with minerality and tremendous length. 15 cases left so grab it before it gone. 91-points, Gold Medal Critics Challenge Wine Competition
