December 10, 2011 - at first a little watered down apple juice on the nose, but moved on to show some hay/straw but not a very strong nose. could be ok. wine was an easy drinker. left some residue in my glass which was fine with me, but a little interesting as this does not usually happen with most whites. a good wine if you can get it at the correct price.

January 26, 2011 - Buty Wine Tasting (C Restaurant, Vancouver Canada): No Formal note on this wine sorry
Compared to my last tasting note on this, it seems to have come together, a bit more I enjoy this style of Semillon bigger bodied -

December 22, 2010 - C: Med Lemon, Noticeable Sediment
A: Clear, Med+ Nose
Rich Pear, Spice, Apple, Tropical notes, floral, custard, opening up with Melons
T: Dry, Med Acid, Med+ body, med intensity, med+ finish, med+ alc
Custard, some apples, and interesting bitterness
Conc: This wine has a good mid palate, it is missing something, maybe like hunter semillion it needs bottle age to be awesome, which I can see this being, has good structure -

December 12, 2010 - Pale gold core, watery rim. Nose: obvious oak masking citrus zest. Palate: dry, moderate acidity and more oak turning bitter on the finish. Shame about the oak. Disappointing wine.

October 23, 2010 - I opened this after work on 10/23/10. It had a pleasant bouquet of honeysuckle, pear, smoke, spice and orange zest. The palate was creamy but with a slight sharpness…flavors of pear, apple, mineral, orange zest and spice. It also finished a little bitter.
