  A complex, tropical, floral wine. Pineapple and hints of vanilla on the nose, with lots of citrus, some coconut on the palate, and a slightly spicy finish. I really enjoyed this wine. I'm not well versed in Sémillon's, but I paired with some a simple, oven baked, salmon, and it went together perfectly.

  Medium body. On the nose: oyster shell, minerality, and key lime. On the palate: minerals, melon, citrus, ripe peach skin, and stonefruit. Great complexity on the midpalate and medium finish. Resembles a Semillon more than it did two years ago, when it was rounder and more voluptuous. Best between 45-90 minutes upon opening. Would be great with sweet crab. Consume at room temperature.

  Terroirist Blogger Tasting #3: SRP: $20. Incredibly seductive nose of lemon drops, lemon curd, fresh white peaches, and a hint of sweet, tropical fruits (mango & melon), and a hint of gray rock. Soft and well-balanced, with some super cool salinity at the finish. A fantastic wine.

  Popped and poured. Medium-light gold hue. Aromas of fresh cut grass, honey-lemon, green apple skin, and stoney minerals. Medium-light body. Very nice palate of mineral-laden stone fruits...think peaches along with a touch of apple and pear. Stays bright with moderate-plus acidity on the close...would pair great with many different foods. Just a really good bottle of WA Semillon and an exceptional QPR at that.

  Pale transparent gold. Aromatics of spiced pear and florals. Light to medium bodied. This shows like a dialed back Viognier or Roussanne. Some underripe banana, green apple and light citrus. Medium acidity and finish.
