  This was delicious in its youth but it's either going through a weird braces and pimples stage in its development, or its taking that preteen sabbatical (ie homeschool) that happens when it retreats away from reality and plots its next move in the safety of a bottle in a cellar. Hopefully it grows up and goes to college, but I'd wait a few years to try it again

  I have found this to be a remarkably consistent wine over the years, tropical fruit with a floral nose and authoratative with and without food. It is especially nice in summer, and in this March of 2014, a taste of summer is most welcome.

  I guess I am not a fan of semillon.

  Definitely not my style. Too much sweetness, with a sour-ish finish. Seems disjointed or something. Just not working for me...

  This little bottle is like a shy nerdy librarian. It looks very plain, and from the first pour, I thought it was going to be just like every other shy nerdy librarian, who near-audibly answers your questions without effuse, and then digs her head back down into her monitor, leaving you to find your way. But with this little school librarian, as soon as the cork came off, so did her glasses and stoic wig. She wanted to let you know, that, just because she looks upright and humble, she's a party animal off the clock. All we did was give this doll a few hours off, and she became the life of the party. she was floral. she was tropical. she was savory. and she was a little tart... This gal could party all night, and it just went from strength to strength. Everyone was happy. Best thing we've taken home from school in a long time!
