James Suckling, 91 Points 

"A full body and a rich mouthfeel dominate this 82% semillon and 18% sauvignon blanc wine. Golden apples, Bosc pears and a touch of almonds." 

Vinous, 91 Points 

"Sweet spring flowers, lemon-laced apples and confectionary spice introduce the 2022 Sémillon. A model of grace and purity, this is perfumed and slightly exotic, with suggestions of mint that offset green melon notes and ample juicy acidity that keeps the energy high. The 2022 tapers off with cheek-puckering freshness and a saline tinge that perfectly resets the palate. I'm loving the balance of ripeness and tension here." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Refreshing and richly textured, this expressive Semillon shows vibrant melon, peach, Granny Smith apple, and fragrant honeysuckle set against a ginger and key lime character. On the palate, it is supple and energetic, replete with pear and stone fruit flavors, persisting to a balanced, crisp finish." 

Alcohol: 13.5%
