  It does still seems young, and the power of the bouquet is only realized on the palate for a short time before a little astringency and alcohol make their point. The flavors are really nice ripe pear and kiwi with melon and citrus in the medley. If it can fill out and become more persistent, I'd happily raise my score, but for today I find the value at $18 appropriate and not much more.
  5+11+15+7= 88

  Straw color youthful, interesting nose of honey, bees wax to be exact deep penetrating nose gravel toasty oak but not dominate. Spicd tones fennel
  toffee butter scotch ever changing nuances. Good structured fruit on the palate medium to full bodied weight, more than a White Bordeaux of this pedigree from Entre de Mers territory. Lovely lingering finish with spice tones that are long with citrus undertones and a terrific acidity structure. The Semillion which is 40% in this cuvee 60 % Sauvignon Blanc gives this wine structure and body. Excellent and enjoy this with fish, seared scallops oysters and lobster great value here. Paid $ 20.00 a bottle
  The wine looks straw colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle.

  Quite a rich fruity nose. On the palate nicely balanced, slightly sweet fruit and a little oak. But overall a slightly thin mouth-feel. Pleasant, easy drinking wine. I imagine it would go well with light- to moderate-spiced food.
