  4/14/2010 - DrinkNectar Likes this wine: 86 Points

  The Stuff: 94% Semillon, 3% Chardonnay and 3% Sauvignon Blanc; aged six months in neutral oak. 100% barrel fermented; 14.5%ABV; 568 cases
  
  •The Swirl: Bright golden wheat color, with honey tones, seemingly thick viscosity
  
  •The Sniff: Light undertones of lemon, vanilla and pear. Subtle but pleasing
  
  •The Sip: Great mouth-feel, velvet and soft with mild fruit flavors of pear or apple and hints of lemon shavings. Reminiscent of light lemon shortcake.
  
  •The Score: At $15 this is a mellow wine that provides simple flavor profile. Would definitely recommend with creamy shellfish pasta or smoked salmon. I score this a 3 out of 5
