  January 3, 2021 - Lovely blend of 70% Semillon & 30% SB in which the SB characteristics appear to dominate. Med yellow color, with a slight gold hue. Med to med (+), aromas of fresh herbs, cut grass, ripe lemon, white flowers, green apple, white peach. No oak. Dry, with med (+) acidity, med alcohol (12.5%) and a slight savory and mineral bitterness on the med (+) finish. Good representative, with good QPR. Still drinking well at 5 years, with the potential for several more.

  Guesses
  Wet rock minerality from Old World
  The acidity and nature of the fruit says cool to moderate climate. I was going to Cote d’Or but was pulled back by the grass. I opted for white Bordeaux and was right.
