I´d guess the blend is dominated by the semillon as the live acidity expected from the sauvignon isn´t there. The nose is quite nice with good fruit, honeysuckle and some herbal notes. Good body and balance, but I´d prefer some more freshness.

$5 at Grocery Outlet, 12%. Imported by Shaw-Ross Internation Imports, Miami, FL. Now here's something you just don't find everyday. Genuine, balanced white Bordeaux for five bucks. Aromatically dominated by the 20% sauvignon blanc in the blend, the remaining 80% semillon plays a supporting role along with a modest bump from new oak. Some might find this high in acid, and it's not especially fruity or complex, but this is very fine with food and an insane value. Very Good.
